Buck Street Market – Camden

A market with the “fuschia” of our planet in mind 🌍 {ad – press sample}⁣

Buck Street Market is the newest addition to Camden 📍 While I have mixed feelings about it replacing the long-standing market, I’m pleased to see an eco-friendly operation supporting 80+ small businesses in an area of high tourism. I’m told they will also feature community stalls held on rotation by local community businesses & groups 👏🏼 ⁣

Here’s how the eco-friendly market is doing its bit:⁣

♻️They compost their food & drink waste to generate energy & produce electricity for the site⁣

♻️Zero single-use plastic policy⁣

♻️Multiple recycling points⁣

♻️Strong vegan offering (would’ve liked to see less steak / beef options though)⁣

♻️One fine dining restaurant based solely on foraged foods (@wildflowerrestaurantuk)⁣

♻️A rooftop screen which will showcase info on climate change (wasn’t on when we visited)⁣

♻️Outdoor space will provide activities & events including workshops and film screenings⁣

🖤 Diversity statement: “We’re heavily invested and taking steps to improve diversity and address the current issues in society. We have an anti-racism policy which outlines everything we have and will be doing. For this campaign, there’s a 50/50 split with 50 being BAME influencers.” – My feedback is that while there’s a wide range of cultures represented, I didn’t see any Black-owned businesses
