Borough Market updates its opening hours

London’s iconic food destination,
Borough Market,
has today announced new opening hours which will include an extra hour on Sunday and trading taking place on selected Bank Holiday Mondays for the first time.

The changes will come into effect from week commencing 17 April 2023. From Tuesday – Saturday, the Market will continue to trade its high quality, sustainable produce alongside
popular street food, with Tuesday – Friday open as normal from 10am-5pm and Saturdays seeing a slightly later opening time of 9am.

Sunday hours will extend from 10-3pm to 10-4pm, giving shoppers an extra hour to stock up on all their favourite ingredients for the week ahead.

The Market will now close on Mondays, with the exception of the standard May and August Bank Holidays, when the Market will open from 10am. Restaurants will remain open
on these days, as usual (for individual opening times visit boroughmarket.org.uk).

The new schedule comes following a 20 month trial of operating seven days per week, when the Market opened on Sundays for the first time in modern history.

Jane Swift, CEO of Borough Market said: “Sundays at Borough
Market have proved to be tremendously popular with shoppers, so much so, that we want to give them more time to browse, chat and enjoy the day. We have taken the decision to close on Mondays which will allow us to do essential maintenance work and additional
deep cleaning in order to maintain the safest space for our traders and customers.’

In addition to its new weekly opening times, the Market has also announced its plans for the year’s public holidays, including Easter, the Coronation of The King and The
Queen Consort and Christmas:

Easter Bank Holiday: Friday 7 April – Monday 10 April

The Market will be open as usual on Good Friday and Easter Saturday and closed on Easter Sunday (9 April) and Easter Monday (10 April) to allow traders to enjoy time with
their families.

The Coronation Weekend: Saturday 6 May – Monday 8 May

On this special Bank Holiday weekend, the Market will be closed so that everyone has the opportunity to participate in the Big Help Out national day of volunteering.

Festive period: 1-31 December

The Market will be open seven days per week throughout December and
will close for three days over Christmas – Christmas Day (25 December), Boxing Day (26 December) and Wednesday 27 December.

New Year: 31 December 2023 – 2 January 2024

The Market will be closed for three days over New Year, from 31 December 2023 to (and including) 2 January 2024.
