A brand new outdoor market is coming to south east London this month with artisan food and street food – with the first 100 guests to receive a free lunch.

Elephant Park, Elephant & Castle’s new neighbourhood, is set to launch a brand new weekly, outdoor market starting October 12.

The market, named The Market at Elephant Park, will be hosted within the grounds of a 2.5-acre park and will feature an array of stalls from street food to artisan food and designer-makers.
