Maltby Street Market

Maltby Street Market is a weekly street-food and provisions market in Bermondsey, south London, England. The market is located on a street of the same name near Tower Bridge in the old Horselydown parish of Bermondsey. As a riparian borough adjacent to Shad Thames and the London Docks, Bermondsey has had a long heritage of involvement in the merchant marine and allied trades. The now enclosed River Neckinger passes a few yards from the southern end of the market walk where a diverted conduit of the river is remembered in the name of Millstream road. Maltby Street itself was the approximate site of a ropewalk belonging to Robert Rich and the name has carried over, in the name of the market yard, to the present day.
