    Crosstown Doughnuts. Amazing. I bought some matcha donuts and went straight back. They were so good.

    Great food selection. Cheese, bread, cakes, donuts, you name it! I would pass on the salmon cakes in case you see them. Way too much potato compared to fish. Portuguese egg tart is very creamy. Went with the classic flavor and did not disappoint.

    Some tasty looking stuff on these stalls although it can be pricey. My favourites are the cake and brownie stands which are comparable with prices elsewhere. There are a decent number of places nearby to sit down with your food if the weather is favourable.

    It's really pretty and worth going if the weather is nice and you have enough time. The food market is pretty expensive (around 10-20£ per food item), the food itself is not something very special, just your average Indian, hotdogs, burgers and fish and chips. Theres not a lot of sitting area so you can order food, but there will be no space for you to sit...

    I had the universal box at Mel tropical kitchen. I enjoyed the salad but the humus and falafel were not to my taste.

    Not the usual bounce around today at about quarter past four. Made a purchase of three scotch eggs that were divine last time I bought them but were very chewy this evening - wonder how fresh they were. I think last time I had the benefit of tasting them first. As I say, didn't seem the usual bouncy bouncy friendly feeling today, perhaps its a one off and a quiet day, something wasn't there which has been when I have visited previously.

    It is obvious I love food and Xmas markets in general. And what's better than combined food and Xmas markets. Give me food, and I'm happy. This one was surprisingly good. It was even bigger than Canopy Market. The food was delicious. I must have spent £100 on food alone. From pies, sausage rolls, brownies, croissants, dry nuts, coffee, and alcohol of course, this is a foodie's paradise. As you can imagine, I was in heaven.

    This is only a review of the samosa/bhaji stall. We got a chicken samosas, cheese samosa and onion bhaji. The samosas had mostly onion, peas and potato as filling with virtually no chicken or cheese and very little flavouring/spices. The bhaji was bland and a nasty texture. Avoid! Looks nice but very disappointing taste

    Nice location. Convenient. Some stalls are quite good (bakeries, cheese selection is really interesting) and some are a rip off. Casa Cannoli sadly would be later one. Very nice brand look bur sadly.. stale, over-sweetened and hard as stone pastries. Instead of throwing unsold thing away they keep it to sell. You are asked to pay for to like it’s gold. Disappointing.

    There is some truly great food at these markets. I particularly love the brownies and breads. The market itself is relatively small, but nicely positioned outside Kings Cross Station, and not far from St Pancras Station. So, if you're taking a long distance journey, it's definitely worth stopping by.

    One of my favourite food markets in London! Slightly more upmarket - and better quality - than some others. Many cuisines represented - including Moroccan, Italian, Korean, Indian, Polish, Turkish, British and many others. There are also stalls selling baked goods, cheeses and charcuterie. A great place to stop for a quick lunch at the weekend and explore the South Bank. Shout out to the Caribbean curry stall in particular!

    Lovely people with their beautiful food stalls. Very limited food stalls we can find just outside of Kings cross station. From fresh breads and Italian passtries must try. Tea from.Aamla chai and smoothies and fresh juice from the juice stall is really awesome.

    Poor hygiene and dangerous health and safety: This is a review of one particular stall in particular. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name but they were selling things like tarts/pastries and quiches. I bought one on Tuesday 21st February. They packaged it in a bag (unfortunately they don’t do boxes) but when I took it out at home it had a sharp metal piece inside it!!

  • 5/5 Raph M. 8 months ago on Google
    I really liked it here. Nice selection of different food & drinks stalls as well as some arts and crafts. Will definitely return.

  • 5/5 Caitlin W. 8 months ago on Google
    Lots of stalls all with great options, ideal for a snack before you get on your train.

  • 5/5 Karthik S. 2 months ago on Google New
    A variety of food markets here at decent prices too. Worth checking out for quick snacks near the train station and underground
