East London’s top street food traders are moving south of the river to reopen a market that’s been derelict for a decade.
The Street Feast team behind Dalston Yard and events at Hackney’s Hawker House are reviving The Model Market on Lewisham High Street.
Street Feast partner Jonathan Downey told the Standard: “If you say ‘Lewisham’, people don’t think of it as an area for eating and drinking, but they said that about Dalston two or three years ago. Hopefully this can have the same impact.”
Street Feast’s biggest hitters are opening on the site, with four bars, 11 eateries and a roof terrace. It launches on June 20.
