Just seen on the london news Herne Hills markets have been open 9 months and now have waiting lists for spots. Cafes on the street are seeing 50% rise in profits on market days.Fantastic to hear Mary Portas having a real impact in the area! Do the Portas pilots talk to eachother to get ideas learn what's worked/ hasn't?
Just thinking if they have waiting lists for market stalls then those businesses may also be interested in the market in Sydenham too?
If you google Herne Hill market, you'll discover that it's actually run by a private company, City & Country Farmers' Markets, it having been chosen by Lambeth Council and the Herne Hill Forum.
I have no problem with that, and the good news is that they also run farmers markets in four local parks in Lewisham.
