My father Alan Davis was the chairman for this market from 1983 - 1991, he worked there since 1965, then it was buzzing with loads of stalls, great characters and full of life, now......what a shame, no buzz, all the flamboyant stall holders have either retired or left, just a street with a history now forgotten. I will always cherish my childhood being part of this amazing place.

The character of this historic market has been threatened by property development which seems to be taking years and years while laying waste to this important Soho street. Westminster Council has no grip. Very few of the street traders are left. There are ambitious folk willing to make a go of Berwick Street but a toxic alliance between Westminster Council and developers has created a scandal in the heart of Soho.
Good selection of street food with a wide variety of cuisines.
Yummy food, good vibes and quirky shops. Savage Salads is my favourite!
The market has lost a lot of its atmosphere while development work has being going on for what seems like years now. But there are one or two stalls left. The street is best visited for the cluster of independent record shops in the area to the north of the market. Hope when the development is finished it gets some of the atmosphere back. PS the Mediterranean restaurant is one of my favourites.
