The regenerated King’s Cross area will once again be transformed into a Christmas paradise from November, with eight different markets popping up over the course of five weeks. The Lower Stable Street Market offers up everything from food and drinks to homeware, art, books and clothing. Christmas under the Canopy will be showcasing some of London’s best artisan traders and food stalls, with a special vegan Christmas market over one weekend of its run.
Elsewhere, the Mexican Christmas Market will provide a spicy twist on the festive season, with piñatas and a roaming cumbia band while you shop for artisanal clothing, accessories, ornaments and crafts from the country. After its 2023 debut, lifestyle brand TOAST returns to Coal Drops Yard, bringing with it handcrafted and sustainably made lifestyle products, from textiles to stationery. The Illustrators Fair will highlight local independent artists, the Crafty Fox Markets will showcase more than 100 designers and makers in the fields of jewellery, homeware and more, and the Shōtengai Christmas Market will bring a taste of Japan to London. Talk about shopping til you drop!
