Roman Road Trust has partnered with Year Here to give a tour of Roman Road Market, past, present, and future. Our Managing Director and local resident, Rosie Vincent, will be guiding ticket holders down the Roman for a taste of a real east end market.
The tour is being delivered as part of Year Here’s series of Hidden Market Taster Tours. Year Here is a postgraduate course in social innovation based in London.
The Real East End Market Tour | Christmas Shopping Experience aims to immerse attendees into the famous Roman Road Market through meeting those who live, breathe, and make our high street.
Your guide will introduce you to:
- G Kelly Pie and Mash founded in 1939
- St. Sugar of London with Enzo
- Andy the Donut Man
- Ladies fashion stalls and winter warmer coats with Alfie
- Saucy Kipper Fish and Chips
