Westminster calls for traders to join Soho’s Berwick Street Market
Following a £1.1m makeover, pitches are now available at the Berwick Street Market in Soho.
Westminster City Council is looking for high-quality and unique first-time traders to apply to run a market stall, from one to six days a week, for as little as £10.61 a day.
Cllr Daniel Astaire, Cabinet Member for Housing, Regeneration, Business and Economic Development said: “Running a market stall can be one of the best ways for entrepreneurs to road test their business ideas, without risking huge overheads. Pizza Pilgrims is just one example. What is now a hugely successful chain of restaurants started out as two brothers selling pizzas from a stall on Berwick Street Market.”
“This is an exciting and affordable way for fledgling start-ups and first-time entrepreneurs to launch their new business, in the heart of London.”
“Thanks to the new lighting, surfaces and facilities that have been installed as part of our regeneration programme, Berwick Street Market has truly been transformed into Soho’s local high street,” Astaire added.
New traders are encouraged to apply by 10 August. Priority will be given to Westminster residents and applicants that offer something unique to complement the existing market and local retail offer.
