Model Market Returning to Lewisham in spring 2026
Lewisham’s iconic Model Market is set to make its long-awaited return in spring 2026, bringing a revitalised mix of street food, independent traders and creative energy back to the town centre.
The new Model Market will reimagine the original 1950s-style site with retro shopfronts, string lights and its signature gritty-meets-artsy feel – creating a vibrant destination that blends nostalgia with a bold new vision. Alongside great food and drink, visitors can expect music, events, pop-ups and cultural programming that celebrates Lewisham’s diverse community.
Organisers are now inviting street-food vendors, chefs, bakers, drinks partners, artists and makers to register their interest. Applications are especially encouraged from local businesses and South London creatives.
Paul Redden, Centre Director at Lewisham Shopping Centre, said:
“Model Market was a much-loved destination for the community. Its revival marks an important moment for Lewisham – one that celebrates our heritage while creating new opportunities for local businesses and cultural connection.”
