Markets in Westminster

There are six markets in Westminster which require a street trading licence to trade, including privately run Farmer's Markets.

The Digital Streets Market project

We are pleased to announce that our Digital Street Markets Project, which will see free WiFi delivered across Westminster’s street markets, as well as digital training for market traders and local businesses, has taken a step closer to completion.

We are currently going through a procurement process to find an operator to install the WiFi and we are hoping that the project will be completed soon.

Once completed, the free WiFi will allow market traders to take card payments on the market more easily and will also allow customers to use the WiFi while they are browsing the market.

Digital training will also be available to help market traders get the most out of the new WiFi and to ensure their businesses are digitally enabled, so they can compete in this increasingly digital world.

The training will contain practical workshops for small groups which focus on product development related to digital activities including how to create websites, developing digital marketing channels and search engine optimisation.
