"A hidden gem, now under threat."

You could walk past the covered market by Seven Sisters tube as it is quite hidden by the shops in front. Just find the double doors and enter a tiny corner of Latin America.

There are about fifty stalls selling a variety of things from South American beauty products and canned and dried food stuffs to a whole stall of cheese and sausages as well as Spanish-language music and films. It is a lively jumble filled with music and families. Mainly Columbian but there are stall holders from Peru, Ecuador and Brazil and a few of the original African traders; including a well stocked black bookshop.

There are a few cafes serving Columbian food and strong coffee to keep anyone awake for days. It mainly just seems to be a social centre where Latin people chat with their friends and families. Saturday early evening is party time. Open 9-6 Monday to Friday, closed on Sunday.

If you are in the area it is well worth popping in as it is a real gem but maybe not for going right across town.

Sadly it is under the threat of the developer's hammer so pop along now. Better still add your voice to the plan to save it and drop an objection email to the planning department.
