Chalton Street market - proposed improvements

Overview

Chalton Street has a historic market in the Kings Cross area that currently trades on the street during a road closure on Fridays between 9am and 4pm. The Council aims to revitalise the market in order to bring in more customers and make it more successful.

The best way of achieving this is by extending the market so that there are a number of stalls closer to Euston Road, making the market visible to pedestrians walking along Euston Road. Additionally, the road closure and operation days of the market would be extended.

It is hoped that the benefits of extending the market towards Euston Road as well as keeping the market open more days will attract more visitors to local businesses as well as market traders. The changes will also provide benefits to the look and feel of the streetscape along Chalton Street.
