The Open Market is situated just off London Road in Brighton. For the longest time, it���along with London Road itself���was the kind of place you really didn’t want to venture into. It was sort of seedy, and not a little bit off-putting.

But in the past few years The Open Market has had a complete overhaul. Now it’s downright pleasant. There are funky stalls, a great butcher shop, a good fishmonger, multiple fruit’n’veg places, and a truly excellent Greek caf��.

The atmosphere on the weekends is particularly convivial. If this is gentrification, then bring it on I say.
