general information

Opening Hours

The Fruit & Vegetable and Flower Markets are open for trading from 3am to 11am Monday to Friday and 4am to 10am on Saturdays. Please note that not all wholesalers are open on Saturday so check before coming to the Market.

Entry to the Market

If you’re coming by foot then there is no entry fee. For each vehicle, there is an entry charge of £5 payable at the Main and Flower Market entrances. Payment booths are manned at all times when the Market is open.

If you use the Market twice or more a week (on average) then it works out cheaper for you to buy an Annual Entry Permit. These cost from £170 + VAT and can be bought from CGMA on 020 7720 2211 or at Covent House, Monday - Friday, 8am - 4pm.

Parking at the Market

Once you’ve paid to enter the Market, parking is free while you carry out your business. There are several car parks on site for both private and commercial vehicles and coach parking is available at the Main Entrance Vehicle Park. To see a map of where you can park go here.

NB clampers do operate on site so please make sure you park in the designated car parks only!

Coach Parking

Coach parking is available at the Market in our Main Entrance Vehicle Park. Prices start at £16.00 for up to 12 hours and £32.00 for up to 24 hours. The charge is per entry and multiple entries/exits from the Vehicle Park will be charged for each entry. Prices are subject to review.

For more information please contact our Operations Department on 020 7720 2211.

Road Traffic System

Please remember that the Road Traffic Act applies to all roads in the Market and that there is a speed limit of 20mph throughout the Market, unless otherwise indicated. Please also be aware of Fork Lift Trucks and pedestrians at all times.

Cafés and Shops

If you need a bacon butty or a hot cup of coffee to keep you going in the morning, then we have loads of cafés to choose from. These are dotted around the site in both the Fruit & Vegetable and Flower Markets. There is also a Post Office on the West Bridge (Fruit & Vegetable Market) offering a full range of postal services.
