Gluten free market stalls in London
London is truly a city of markets. I don't claim to have them all in this guide, in fact I think I'll be adding to this page for a long time to come! But the ones below do stand out as having some great gluten free options that I hope you will enjoy.
Use the hand Jump To: menu to jump to the market you'd like to learn about, there you will see places that are gluten fre or have gluten free/coeliac-safe options, a price estimate, a video, and my recommendation on what to get.
The only thing I haven't added in this guide is times & days when specific market stalls are open as this is subject to change due to seasons/weather/other personal reasons. I recommend double checking with the places you want to visit via instagram as that usually the most up-to-date platform for most of these spots!
