Swan Settlers Market — Attraction in Herne Hill

Looking for a good place to eat at the Swan Settlers Markets? These markets have a great assortment of cuisines, one of their stand outs is,🍕Swan Valley Pizza🍕 Kitchen set up is viewable to the public - simple and clean - all you ever hope to see when deciding where to eat! 🫧 🍽️ Prices are reasonable about $20 for a large, which was big enough for my husband and me to share, even after daughter stoke a slice. They do have medium and small sizes which would work well for kids, individuals and sharing. Service was outstanding friendly and genuine, certainly not like the lip service you can get anywhere else. Food is simple and uncomplicated which means you can actually taste the individual ingredients and appreciate them collectively. Just when you think you need nothing else - I mean who ever needs anything else after a good pizza, right? They then spoil us further by having the best hot cinnamon doughnuts!! They have the regular sized individual doughnuts, but, and this is where they are devious (totally in a good way) they also have little baby doughnuts. The baby sized is perfect for children, easy to hold and not big enough to over stuff a little tumtym. The downside to this size for adults, is that they are too easy to pop right into your ever welcoming mouth whole! So easy to eat too many, but oooohhhhh so good. Delicious, we will certainly be back for more.

Very friendly vendors. It was lovely to hear each vendor genuinely promoting other stalls within the markets. Reasonable prices. Nice varied assortment of items on offer and not too much saturation of stalls selling the...

Went for Sin Gin and BBQ - gin was fantastic, but the BBQ had closed down. A replacement is coming soon apparently.

The rest of the food offerings at the markets - aside from the Vietnamese food - weren't enticing.

There was 'wedding singer-esque' entertainment in the food area, and while reasonably talented, it was not the right vibe at all, and quite cringe.

The shops were disappointing with the same sort of stuff you see at every other market, and some made you feel like you'd stepped back in time, not in a good way.

Based on the website, I expected an interesting and vibrant market with local offerings, but it is a mish-mash of ostensibly reasonable offerings that are cheapened by other stall holders.

Not every market needs bric-a-brac and Royal Show type junk, as it makes it feel very same-y. The placement of the stalls is really odd with a disjointed layout, and although it is relatively new, it has a sad and worn feel to it.

The experience missed the mark for me. Has so much potential, especially with Sin Gin as an anchor tenant, but it falls flat and the marketing needs to be done much,...

Swan Settlers Market This place was a wonderful find, what a hidden little gem. My wife and I where visiting form the U.S., where we own a farm. We always look for farm related places to visit and this place popped up on our search, I am sure glad it did. It sounds like its still new for the area, so it wasn’t crowded when we visited, and everyone was nice. It has a mix of a thrift store, bakery, coffee store, farmers market, natural grocer and more all wrapped up in one. There is a BBQ place upon walking in, smelled great, then a cute lady offered me some of her family’s Scottish fudge, bough that right up, yum! I ended up buying some honey and talked with the beekeeper, had a chi tea at Le Petite Crepe that was nice. Also talked to a farmer about his crops, bought some cologne from a pretty cool guy who told me about the area and the Market. Everyone was happy to talk and share conversations. As a visitor to someone else’s country, it’s really a treat to talk with the locals in such a relaxed setting. I will most definitely visit again and I hope this place...
