Market Halls Victoria

Market Hall Victoria has increased in size.

It’s now called Market Halls Victoria.

And more obviously, since the initial launch in 2018 they’ve also added a rooftop terrace that looks out over Victoria Station, so you can eat your food calmly while watching all the folks below make the last-minute dash to catch their trains.

Market Halls Victoria is set in a beautiful old building – most recently a club, but originally an Edwardian arcade – that’s been restored to its former glory. The baroque cornices, stained-glass windows and skylights are still in full view, and are now accompanied by modern touches like marble-topped communal tables, slick parquet floors and suspended greenery.

The main hook is still the food, of course, as is the Market Halls standard, and they’ve reeled in nine vendors of various cuisines, all jostling for your attention and subsequently paralysing you with choice. They are as follows:

Butchies | All about buttermilk fried chicken, in a burger, on their ownsome, or with dips like buffalo sauce and chilli honey.

Gopal’s Corner | Kalpana Sugendran’s homage to his parents’ Sri Lankan restaurant of the 70s, where you can score flaky roti and Malaysian & Tamil dishes.

Black Bear Burgers | Quite simply, some of the best burgers in London.

BAO | Yes, that BAO – London’s Taiwanese micro-empire goes back to its roots with a stall here hawking steamed buns, fried chicken and bubble tea.

Eggslut | Who says you can’t eat eggs all day? Or put the word slut in a restaurant name? Not these guys!

Jude’s Thai | Fragrant, spice-laden street food inspired by founder Jude Sangsida’s memories of temple markets in Bangkok.

Poké The Bear | You know poké. But this is poké created by a Michelin starred chef, Richard Galli.

DF Tacos | A trimmed down version of the Shoreditch store, serving tacos filled with sustainably sourced meat and nachos levelled-up with chorizo & homemade guacamole.

Whipped | Have the dessert market all to themselves, purveying their outrageous slabs of luxury cheesecake (both baked, and made with frozen soft serve). Chef-founder Alice Churchill spent the best part of two decades in Michelin starred kitchens including The Ritz, so she knows what she’s doing.

Chances are, you’re in the market for at least one of those…
