Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

TOTTENHAM GREEN MARKET ! Seven Sisters get it's own market ~ take a look!

All of us that little bit too far away from Harringay's lovely market will be delighted to hear Seven Sisters now has it's own fresh produce offering.

The Tottenham Green market will be open 10am-3pm every saturday until August 2nd (located on Tottenham Green space). They will then judge how successful it's been and (hopefully) continue the market on a permanent basis, so go and show your support so it thrives!

Loads of fresh good quality produce in our newly renovated surroundings !

"Street Food | Craft Beer | Cake | Coffee | Bread | Cheese | Wine"

Check the great-looking website or twitter for more info:

NOTE: I'm not personally involved with this venture at all, just a Seven Sisters resident who's glad to see this pop up! :)

It's my market

Thanks for clearing that up, I was under the impression there was some community involvement. As it's 'yours' I assume you are registered as a sole trader, in which case it might be wise to provide us with your business details co. number etc.

It looks great, I'm a 7 Sisters resident and will pop along too but browsing through the Vittels on offer I'm wondering if any of the locals could afford any of it. Very gentrified, very Farmers market.

Prices aren't too bad. Coffee was very good. I tried the malaysian for lunch and kids had grill my cheese. 

What's wrong with what? Selling products that the majority of the community are priced out of? Errr...where to start. I'll be there anyway, it looks good and as Beewan assures me, the prices aren't too bad. I'm hoping to find a mix of affordability.
'they'?

If people want cut price food they can find plenty of that in Seven Sisters as well, I'm quite happy to get my posh food in the market and my 3-for-a-pound loaves in the local store. The problem until now is that was all that was available, which wasn't fair to everyone either. 

Since moving in to the area all I hear is that people want more choice of shops and food options on their doorstep, and this is exactly what was needed IMO. I do hear what you're saying, but even those who are struggling can have aspirations, and nonetheless there are abundant shopping options that now includes the diversity and great quality of the market. 

Also, how is it not a good thing for everyone to be bringing people in from other areas to support our local traders and high streets? Last week I bumped into quite a few friends who had come in from across London having heard good things. Do you really think that sort of positivity is only beneficial to some? I'm just really happy that I no longer have to leave my neighbourhood to do things I enjoy (stuffing my face with great food!). 

Steady on Abs, like I said, I'll pop along and look, see. I'm hoping to see something that reflects the cultural and social diversity there and not just home made bread, expensive honey, craft ales and over priced brioche burger buns served up on a piece of local slate. We'll see. Anyone for Tottenham cake?
Yes, I live in seven sisters as my original comment suggests, and have lived in Haringey most of my life. You don't seem to grasp my point, and yes, you are coming across as a teeny bit unnecessary .
I didn't say anywhere that I wanted either, I said taht I hoped that the market will REFLECT the local community's Diversity. I'm Hoping to see something for everyone for a truly inclusive market.

Seven Sisters / SoTo is already gentrifying at breathtaking speed. Do these new people count as part of 'the community' or not?  Haringey Labour group doesn't see them and believes they need to build thousands of new private-sale homes to change the area, but they are already here.  Witness the successes of the Ploughmans events, and the Beehive.  It may even save the Bernie Grant Centre, if more people able to pay West End prices live within reach.

I'm not suggesting for a minute that you sell what's already on offer at 'your' market Jessica. I'm suggesting that it would be great if the whole community can come along, find something they like and can afford.
