“Uncover the charm of London’s local culture with treasures that change every day at this historic indoor market.”
Tucked behind Covent Garden’s main piazza, Jubilee Market is one of London’s most characterful and authentic local markets. Opened in 1987 within a preserved Victorian building, it has become a go-to destination for those seeking unique finds and handcrafted goods.
The market’s most distinctive feature is its daily theme rotation:
-
Mondays are dedicated to antiques, featuring everything from vintage books and old postcards to rare collectibles and curiosities.
-
Tuesday to Friday is the General Market, offering an eclectic mix of fashion, accessories, home décor, and seasonal items.
-
On Saturdays and Sundays, the market transforms into the Arts & Crafts Market, where local artisans sell handmade jewelry, prints, woodcraft, candles, and creative gifts — perfect for tourists and collectors alike.
Jubilee Market's intimate layout and friendly vendors make it easy to browse and engage. It's not just a place to shop, but an experience of authentic London life. Around the market, you'll find vibrant street performers, charming cafés, and world-class attractions like the Royal Opera House just a few steps away.
With its rich variety and rotating themes, Jubilee Market is a favorite for both locals and international visitors, offering a refreshing contrast to the high-street shops and department stores nearby.
