Independent market to open at Battersea Power Station

A trendy new weekly independent market has launched at the foot of the iconic Battersea Power Station.

From the founders of Real Food Festivals, who have been dedicated to supporting small, sustainable and ethically minded producers, River Walk Market will host independent food and drink producers, artists, designers, street food and live musicians every Saturday.

Situated by the iconic power station on the south bank of the River Thames, visitors will be able to enjoy some of the best views of the river as well as the iconic Grade II listed building.

River Walk Market’s line-up includes 15 producers including modern European deli and bakery, Popina, The Flour Station, Battersea Brewery, Sicilian cannoli gurus, Casa Cannoli, and many more.

The market will host a weekly changing line up of craft makers and kicking things off will be Dasmarca, presenting their London-inspired ‘Postcode’ range of hats, Starling & Hider, showcasing their range of handmade contemporary accessories, and Katiico Jewellery, with Ghanian-inspired jewellery.

The weekend market will move to the beat of a weekly changing line-up of live musician and DJs, programmed by Busk in London, supported by the Mayor of London.

Fabio Diu, a director of Real Food Festival, said: ’This exciting new riverside quarter at the foot of the iconic Battersea Power Station is now thriving, having been given a new lease of life.

“We are really looking forward to becoming part of this local community and offering a new space for people to enjoy their weekends eating, shopping and drinking the best of London’s independent producers.”

Nicola Casperson, brand director at Battersea Power Station, added: “We are delighted to be welcoming a new weekly food and craft market to complement the existing array of restaurants, shops, cafes, bars and leisure offers at the first chapter of the Battersea Power Station regeneration.

“What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than enjoying some delicious nibbles, exploring arts and crafts and soaking in the riverside atmosphere at one of London’s best-known landmarks.

“There is now so much to experience throughout the day and into the evening at Circus West Village, from the latest restaurant and bar openings to great fitness and beauty offers, a flower school and our very own cinema which opened a few weeks ago –this market is a welcome new addition to this already thriving community.”
