Pop-up Weekend Markets will return to Leadenhall Market in 2026 with an extended programme led by returning favourites SoLo Craft Fair and The Vintage Furniture & Flea Market. Together, the two operators will once again fill the Market’s cobbled walkways with vintage designs, antiques and handcrafted gifts.
The market series begins on Saturday 11 April with SoLo Craft Fair, followed by The Vintage Furniture & Flea Market from Sunday 19 April, and runs from spring until Christmas. This year will see both operators host more stalls than ever before beneath Leadenhall’s iconic glass roof.
All markets are free to enter and run from 12-5pm. With Leadenhall’s restaurants, cafés and pubs open throughout the weekend from breakfast until dinner, the markets provide the perfect starting point for a day spent exploring the City of London beyond the working week.
SoLo Craft Fair
SoLo Craft Fair returns on the second Saturday of each month with carefully selected independent artists and makers. From jewellery and art to home accessories, textiles and children’s toys, the focus is on high-quality, handcrafted pieces. Run by makers for makers, SoLo also has a permanent shop within Leadenhall Market, making it a familiar part of the Market’s community throughout the year.
The Vintage Furniture & Flea Market
The Vintage Furniture & Flea Market returns to close out each month at Leadenhall in style. Traders will bring mid-century furniture, antiques, retro homeware, lighting, rugs and one-off pieces that add character and unique flair to homes. After its first 2026 date on 19 April, the Flea Market will be found in Leadenhall on the last Sunday of each month.
Ollie Goode, Asset Manager at Leadenhall Market, said:
“The response to our award-winning Weekend Market series over the past two years has been exceptional, drawing Londoners and visitors into the heart of the City. For 2026, we’re delighted to bring it back bigger and better, with an expanded line-up. We’ve worked hard to make Leadenhall Market a true seven-days-a-week destination, and it’s fantastic to welcome more traders than ever before — creating even more reasons to spend time in the City at weekends.”
Visitors can refuel between stalls with a growing mix of restaurants, cafés, pubs and wine bars open across market weekends. For casual bites, options include Sicilian arancina from Sfrigola, falafel and Mediterranean dishes at Baba Ganoush, Korean favourites from Bibimbap ToGo, and pastries from Aux Merveilleux de Fred and Buns from Home. Boom Bap Burger, Chango Empanadas and Hagen will also be serving throughout the weekend.
For those staying longer, La Viña offers Spanish tapas and Rioja, while The Golden Goose and The Lamb Tavern pour pints and offer hearty meals and tempting snacks. New for 2026, MRBL, a modern British steakhouse with terrace seating, brings on-the-bone cuts and a standout steak sandwich to the Market.
Set in the heart of the City, Leadenhall Market’s Grade II-listed iron-and-glass structure has been a place of trade for centuries and continues to provide a striking backdrop for traders in 2026. Leadenhall Market is owned and managed by the City of London Corporation.
