Twice a week, every Thursday and Friday there is a Buddha Balls van. Definitely worth to try!

Joe Ray

The Citroën van at the top of the street is great for vegetarians . They do the Buddha bowl : delicious vegan curry with optional halloumi .

David Sulitzer

Go to the far north end of the road and you'll see a delicious stand with Duck Confit burgers !!! Best burgers I've ever eaten! (They're served with melted cheese )

Chris Haines

Plenty of street food options available here. The food smells wonderful walking through here. A lot of stalls will have queues because of the popularity. Very filling burritos at the pulled pork place

Lucas

Go to Carnevale and have a great salad for 5.50 (including hummus ) that fills you up the whole day!

Daniel W

Try to get here around 12ish l to avoid the queues super busy from 12:30-1:30 and then things start closing at 2:00! But at 2:00 some stalls can give good deals to get rid of what they have left.

Marina Hramkova

Queue for Sunny's Olive Tree (salads stand) is always huge but moves fast! It's also much cheaper than other vendors - £3.40/4.40for a box of nice and filling salad :)

Thiago Maia

A lot options. Brazilian is good and the cheese bread (Pão de Queijo) is really good. Trying the Turkish Gozleme today.

Stuart Wilkes

Burrito queue looks long but moves fast, so dont be put off. Pork , chorizo and guacamole burrito is one of the best in London. Falafel stall, salad and the veg curry place are all good options too

Iestyn Williams

Try the chicken tikka wrap down the Dufferin street end. Always a big queue but it moves fast.Best wrap on the market !

DAZED AND CONFUSED

Right on Dazed HQs doorstep- our favourite place to lunch , a street of market food from thai, Mexican, falafels and the best burritos . Also don’t walk past the guy selling brownies without trying one!

London Symphony Orchestra

On a weekday 11am-3pm Whitecross Street is taken over by dozens of food stalls . Everything from cakes and sweets to burgers , pasta , wraps , burritos and curries . Support a local trader!

Two Boots and a Farwa

Delicious burritos , and there's a turkish stall that makes a monster of a shawerma .

Daphna Shez

Thursday and Friday, lunch . There are no late-night DJs or fancy cocktail bars here, just street food in the truest and tastiest sense.

Gorka Guridi

Plenty of places to grab a quick bite before going back to whatever you were doing. Most places accept cards . Pick your choice! :)

Jetset Bart

In addition to its daily general market , the weekly specialist food market , which runs every Thursday and Friday, has been key to reviving Whitecross Street.

Favourite food market , since it's super close to the office . Plenty of healthy options !

The Thai stall is pretty good. Lots of Turkish and Indian food here too. Slightly more expensive than Leather Lane.

Turkish wraps towards the south end are great. Swerve the onion salad though to remain popular with your nearest and dearest!

Go for lunch and try to decide between a burrito , falafel wrap , Italian meatball lasagne , halloumi burger , Indian or Thai curry , salad bar and so on... at £3-4. Additional stalls on Friday!
