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.
