Hotels near Greenwich Market at Christmas

Greenwich Market, a covered market in the heart of maritime Greenwich, is one of the best London Christmas markets for handmade crafts. Independent makers sell jewellery, prints, ceramics, clothing and gifts, alongside food stalls serving dishes from around the world.

The market trades most days of the week, and in December it adds festive stalls and decorations. The surrounding area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the Old Royal Naval College, the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory on the hill in Greenwich Park.

Getting there by river boat from central London is part of the fun and gives views of Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf on the way.

Pro Tip: Take a Thames Clippers boat to Greenwich Pier, browse the market, then climb to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park at sunset for a view across London's skyline.
