| Rosewood London, Slow Food & Living Market |
During my first visit, I noticed a lot of families and friends enjoying their time there. Seeing as this is the only Slow Food UK market in London, I suppose both the merchants and customers who congregate here have formed some sort of close-knit community. The friendliness and familial atmosphere was actually quite pleasant, and getting to know the local growers and artisans helped me grow an appreciation for all the beautiful produce I saw.

Apart from the market, the Rosewood London also hosts the Mirror Room, Scarfes Bar and finally the Holborn Dining Room where we had lunch. These establishments all follow the theme of “Slow Food,” which means they use fresh and local ingredients that have been grown with high-end farming techniques.
The goal of Slow Food is to remain health and environmentally conscious. All the dairy and eggs sold in the market contain no GMOs, hormones, or added antibiotics. Additionally, the meat is pasture-raised and wild fish is responsibly caught.
I was able to enjoy my meal (it was absolutely delicious, by the way – see below) knowing that I wasn’t consuming tons of hidden chemicals and other additives.
This sensational market in London also features a private Living Room, which is located on the ground floor of the hotel. On Sundays, it’s a great play area for your children. Don’t worry, it’s fully supervised by at least two adults! While I don’t have first-hand experience with the place, I passed by and noticed many different activities that are available there, including Football and several board games. The Living Room is open every week between 11am and 4pm, and available for children 3-12 years of age. I was told by organizers that spaces are limited and requires a consent form, so parents who are interested in childcare at this London market should keep this in mind.
Rosewood London features the Slow Food & Living Market every single Sunday between 10am to 3:30pm. It opens no matter what, rain or shine, so whenever you’re feeling peckish or need a fun outing, check this place out!

That food looks seriously good, there is nothing like a good old traditional market!
That food looks so scrummy, and there is nothing like a good old traditional market!
Wow food looks delicious. Loving your very clear pictures.
Looks divine. I think this would be a really fun adventure. I'm all over it! Also, your pictures are in.cred.i.ble.
Great post! I love wild garlic but don't know where to find it near where I live… I would've enjoyed exploring the different foods on offer.
Loved this post! I definitely want to check out this market now. The food looks so fresh and scrumptious 🙂
We have an amazing local market but I would definitely pop in to see this if I was in town.
Beautifully presented market, although in truth I've found that most true farmer's markets build up a community and friendly atmosphere quite fast. Also used to find that at Brixton farmers market when I lived there, anyway.
I'm always drawn in by an artisanal bread/cake stall – Its the cake! And then you take us to a Scotch Egg! My most fave savoury thing in the world! Looks like two more locations to add to my must visit list.
I certainly need to visit this market the next time I am in town. I am a real sucker for food markets!
I will have to visit this market the next time I am in town. I love places like this and am such a sucker for food markets.
I will pop in for sure. Thank you for letting us know.
