Market Café or ‘Diana Café’ as known unofficially to locals is located in the very heart of Walthamstow.
Spanning a kilometre of the High Street, Walthamstow Market is the longest open-air market in London. Dating back in 1885, the market is packed with stalls selling food, clothes, and household goods while cosy cafés and restaurants are serving nice coffee and delicious lunch for shoppers and locals.

The café has a very unique relaxing atmosphere, and the walls are all covered in photos and memorabilia of Princess Diana and the royal family.

The café is very atmospheric and relaxing. Dim light, natural wooden furniture and exposed brick walls create the perfect cosy vibe. At the back, there are wooden wheel benches with colourful cushions and flowers on the matching tables.
There is an impressive bar counter in the middle of the venue, lit in warm red light and decorated with dried flowers, red and white artificial grapes, and bottles of wines all around.
There are large mirrors, old oil lamps and inspiring quotes on the wall adding to the warm ambience making you want to stay longer.

At Market Café you can really start your day as a royal. They have an extensive menu that includes full English Breakfast, set breakfast, lots of vegetarian options, omelettes, dinners, and roasts and even children menu.
Market Café is famous for its great coffee, so I ordered a cappuccino, and I loved the stylish ceramic mug and the cute spoon it was served with.
The staff was very nice and helpful, always smiling and very passionate.
If you ever visit Walthamstow Market, make sure you pop in to Market Café for a lovely breakfast or a nice coffee and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere while marvelling at the beautiful details and memorabilia dedicated to Lady Di and the royal family.
