Every week, the residents of Chatsworth Road in East London are awakened by the homely aroma of freshly baked bread, entwined with tongue-tingling jerk chicken and the sweet essence of French crêpes. It can only mean one thing - time to shake off the hangover and visit Chatsworth Road Market.
The moment you arrive on Chatsworth Road, you are enveloped in a sense of community. Most of the 80 stallholders at Chatsworth Road Market are local businesses and the fresh food on offer ranges from an organic free-range butcher to an artisan cheese specialist.

With its own vintage clothing stalls, a specialist off-licence with a tasting room and a shop selling ethically-sourced handmade products from India, it is no surprise that Chatsworth Road is becoming an increasingly popular destination for both tourists and residents looking for a new area to live.
