Friends of Queen's Market

Queen's Market, Upton Park is a thriving and profitable covered street market. Situated in the East End it has been in existence for over a century and is the heart of a vibrant community that draws in people from across London and beyond. Famed for its affordable and culturally appropriate produce, it is much more than just a market, it is a living information exchange and a communal space. Queen's Market is an important centre of employment, it also brings in millions of pounds into the local economy. It exudes entrepreneurial spirit, tolerance and good humour. Little wonder then that Londoners love it. Sadly, it is now under direct threat due to the arrogance, neglect and irresponsibility of Newham council.
------------------------------------------
The Campaign

Friends of Queen's Market are working to save Queen's Market and wish to see it cherished and promoted. We have a constructive vision of the future of the market, one that sees a full appreciation of its unique character and that makes the most of its potential. Such has been the success of our campaign that Asda-WalMart have pulled out of the hugely controversial Wales/St Modwen scheme. Yet more remains to be done, not least to ensure that cupidity and stupidity are not allowed to triumph.

Our campaign is growing all the time and we are determined to expand it to save Queen's Market and the Queens' pub from the rapacious clutches of property developer - St. Modwen Properties Plc.
