Berwick Street Market is a small market in the heart of Soho selling mainly fruit and vegetables and general goods.

The market was established in the 1840s and still retains much of its character, albeit things are a little busier these days. Lively at lunchtimes, the market has the freshest and cheapest produce for miles around. Tucked away between Oxford Street and Old Compton Street, Berwick Street Market is particularly renowned for its quality fruit and vegetables, but you can also find other products such as fish, cheese and spices.

In addition to the market, there are a collection of interesting shops along the street, including some delis and some great little music shops. Berwick Street, just north of the market, was the location for the cover photograph of the '(What's the Story) Morning Glory' album by Oasis
