""Over the last nine years this market [Mercato Metropolitano] has become the heart of our community. It now attracts over 600,000 yearly visitors.""
""Berkeley Homes scheme...includes a replacement food hall as part of the planned development but until it is finished, most of the 40 traders...will have to find alternative arrangements.""
The Borough Triangle development is set to replace the Mercato Metropolitano, a popular food hall in South London, with nearly 900 homes in high-rise buildings. Approved by Southwark councillors, the plan includes a replacement food hall and community spaces, but requires the eviction of numerous traders and local businesses. Critics argue the loss of Mercato Metropolitano as a community hub, which draws over 600,000 visitors annually, will significantly impact the areaâs character and cohesion. A relocation fund for displaced workers has been established, but many remain concerned about the immediate future of the traders.
