Discover more about Canopy Market
A Victorian Market Hall Reimagined
The West Handyside Canopy stands as a testament to London's industrial heritage. Built in 1888, this magnificent structure originally functioned as a bustling food distribution hub where produce from across the United Kingdom arrived via countless railway carriages before being dispersed throughout the capital. The market also hosted Billingsgate Fish Market every Sunday when the City of London was closed. Today, Canopy Market breathes new life into this historic venue, reviving its purpose as a gathering place for food, craft, and community while preserving the architectural integrity of its Victorian steel and glass roof.A Curated Selection of Independent Producers
Canopy Market distinguishes itself through its commitment to supporting independent traders and artisan producers. The market brings together an eclectic mix of vendors, each individually sourced and selected for quality and authenticity. Food traders include Casa Cannoli, The Frenchie with its indulgent duck confit burgers, and Carne Street Food offering flavoursome Mexican tacos. Beyond food, you'll discover fresh produce, cured meats, freshly ground coffee, craft beers, and cocktails. The market also features designer-makers and artists selling handmade goods, ceramics, candles, beauty products, and unique gifts—all under one historic roof.Weekend Atmosphere and Evening Entertainment
The market operates Friday through Sunday, with extended hours on Friday evenings when Canopy Sessions bring live entertainment and DJ sets to the venue. Saturday and Sunday hours run from 11am to 6pm, while Friday extends from noon to 8pm, making it an ideal destination for weekend browsing, casual dining, or evening socialising. The covered setting provides shelter regardless of weather, and ample seating throughout allows visitors to linger over food and drinks while soaking in the lively atmosphere. The market occasionally hosts special events and collaborations, such as Día de Muertos celebrations featuring Mexican craft markets, street food, live mariachi, and cultural processions.Location and Accessibility
Situated in the heart of King's Cross at Granary Square, Canopy Market sits just five minutes' walk from King's Cross tube station and the major train stations serving the area. The venue is adjacent to Coal Drops Yard and near St Martins College and Waitrose, placing it within a vibrant cultural and commercial district. The market is wheelchair accessible, dog-friendly, and offers free entry, making it welcoming to all visitors. The surrounding Granary Square area provides additional dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, including the House of Illustration, Queer Britain museum, and various galleries and theatres.Sustainable and Ethical Shopping
Canopy Market operates on principles of sustainability, ethics, and support for local independent businesses. By championing handmade, locally produced goods and artisan food, the market encourages conscious consumption and direct relationships between makers and customers. The emphasis on independent producers means each purchase supports small businesses and craftspeople rather than large corporations. This ethos extends to the market's curation process, where every vendor is individually selected to ensure quality, authenticity, and alignment with the market's values of supporting ethical, sustainable, and locally managed enterprises.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
