Market Square, Harlow ★★★★☆ 4.4 Wed & Sat 8am–4pm Free parking in town centre
Harlow Market has a loyal following for clothes – especially the vintage and retro stalls on the far side. You’ll find 80s shell suits, 90s band tees, leather jackets, and rails of £5–£15 high-street stuff. Good for kids’ clothes bundles and workwear too.
The market is smaller than Romford but less hectic, with decent coffee stalls and the big Water Gardens shopping centre next door.
Pros
- Strong vintage and retro selection
- Less crowded than bigger markets
- Good kids’ clothes deals
- Central location
Cons
- Fewer stalls than Romford/Chelmsford
- Some empty units
