History

An Arts and Crafts market was first held at St James's Church, Piccadilly in 1981 as part of the Piccadilly Arts Festival. The market opened permanently in 1984, operating just two days a week. Since then Piccadilly Market has expanded and grown.

Traders

Piccadilly Market is the only long-established craft market in London W1. Many traders are skilled craftspeople who manufacture premium goods or source from high quality suppliers. Unlike other London markets, permanent Piccadilly Market traders dress their stalls on a Tuesday or Wednesday and leave them up until Saturday evening. Accordingly, there are striking four- or five-day displays.

Rent paid by traders contributes to the upkeep of St James's Church Piccadilly: a Sir Christopher Wren masterpiece.

Piccadilly Market was described by Time Out Magazine as where "quintessential church fête meets West End London chic."
