Real Food Market bringa Seasonal Cheer
to Two of London’s Busiest Stations
Real Food Market is bringing seasonal cheer to two of London’s busiest stations with curated Christmas markets for commuters, visitors, and
last-minute shoppers.
Launching at London Bridge on 1 December and running until 21 December, Stainer Street – the station walkway between Tooley Street and St
Thomas Street - will host a curated Christmas market featuring artisan food producers and independent designer-makers. Expect hand-crafted gifts,
seasonal treats, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere complete with choirs and live music.
Meanwhile, King’s Cross Square will once again host its popular
Christmas market from 26 November to 22 December, o昀昀ering a mix of global 昀氀avours and festive indulgence. Visitors can enjoy artisan food and
drink, mulled wine, hot chocolate, street food, toasted marshmallows, craft and gift products, all set within traditional wooden chalets. Adding to the
festive fun, the market will feature a stage for festive entertainment and music. From mince pies and Sicilian panettone to curated cheeseboards and
mulled wine, the market promises something for every palate.
Hamish Kiernan, Commercial Director, Property at Network Rail, comments:
“Seasonal markets like these bring our stations to life, creating memorable experiences for visitors while supporting independent businesses during
the busy festive period. These Christmas markets are a perfect example of how we’re transforming our managed stations into destination stations,
not just places to pass through, especially during the festive season.”
Philip Lowery, Director at Real Food Market, comments:
“At Real Food Market, our mission has always been to reconnect people with where their food comes from and to champion small producers who
create exceptional, sustainable products. These Christmas markets are more than seasonal shopping; they’re a celebration of community.
“By bringing artisan food and handmade gifts to two of London’s busiest stations, we’re giving people the chance to support independent businesses.
Whether you’re picking up a gift or grabbing a festive bite, we want visitors to feel the magic of the season.”
