| This weekly farmers market, held in Bermondsey Square just off Tower Bridge Road, was set up in November 2009 and originally known as Bermondsey Farmers' Market. It was run by [http://www.lfm.org.uk/ London Farmers' Markets] (LFM) until the end of 2011, at which point LFM decided to [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/5666 cease running a market at that location]. However, the market has continued under new management, and as of 2014 is still going strong. |

The market is really focused on shopping rather than grazing, though, unlike [[Borough Market]]. |
