Shopping locally can be more economical, better for the environment and even better for your health, according to the Food Revolution Network. Living near a market is becoming ever more popular which is why the homes from Tipi, just a moment’s walk from the new Wembley Park Market which opened this summer, are in such high demand.

Wembley Park Market is home to an eclectic selection of vintage designers, makers and retailers showcasing their products. Since its opening, more vendors have been drawn to the site, which is rapidly becoming a key part of the fabric of the local community.

Stallholders include zero-waste retailer Pakota, which sells dry food products for refillable containers, sustainable toiletries and home accessories for environmentally conscientious consumers, to the Duck Pond Collective, which offers locally made, ethical and sustainable artisan products, both vintage and upcycled.

There’s vintage jewellery, philanthropic fashion, personal stylists and expert beard groomers. Foodies, meanwhile, can choose from macrobiotic foods from Japan and Europe, air-popped popcorn, organic snacks, traditional sweets and entire meals to heat and eat at home.

Wembley Park Market is not just a fantastic place to shop, it’s a place for local merchants and makers to come together and nurture their brands as part of a community. The Tipi homes at Alameda, located diagonally opposite Wembley Park Market, also firmly embrace this community ethos.
