Dit gebied was vroeger thuis van Londen's groente-en fruitmarkt, die nu verplaatst is naar de New Covent Garden Market in Bermondsey. Vandaag is het een verzameling van winkels die een verscheidenheid van goederen, antiek en handvaardigheid aan foto's en handgemaakte kleding verkopen. Er is ook een openlucht, geplaveid gebied waar mime en jongleren soms vertoond worden. Muzikanten spelen regelmatig in de mooie binnenplaatsen rond de marktkramen. Er zijn ook een paar plekken om te lunchen of om een ijsje te eten.
