Mercato Metropolitano — One of Our All-Time Favourites
Mercato Metropolitano is more than a market — it’s a living, breathing celebration of food, culture, and connection. Whether you’re wandering through the vibrant stalls of Elephant & Castle or soaking in the elegance of Mercato Mayfair’s repurposed church setting, the experience is always immersive and full of flavour.
The food options are endless — from handmade pasta and Neapolitan pizza to Venezuelan arepas, Japanese gyoza, and Ethiopian stews. It’s a global feast, curated with care and served with heart. The drinks flow freely, with craft beer, natural wines, and cocktails that match the mood. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive — families, friends, solo wanderers, and curious foodies all find their place here. Live music, community events, and sustainability initiatives add depth to the experience.
