Newham, one of London’s most diverse boroughs, has long been defined by its vibrant markets—cultural, social, and economic anchors for the communities that rely on them. Yet recent urban shifts, particularly the rise of large commercial developments like Westfield Stratford, have placed immense pressure on these traditional marketplaces. With spaces such as Stratford Centre, Queen’s Market, and Stratford Market Village facing gradual decline, the future of independent vendors and the communities they support has become increasingly uncertain. OffTheFarm – Folks addresses this challenge by introducing a flexible, mobile market system designed to adapt to evolving city conditions. Instead of depending on permanent infrastructure, the project equips vendors with mobile, foldable carts that allow them to navigate the urban landscape freely, bringing fresh produce and local goods directly to high-footfall zones where community interaction and accessibility can thrive.
