As publishers of London’s award-winning independent titles, including Kentishtowner and Gasholder, it’s been a pleasure and an honour to explore and highlight one of central London’s most underrated neighbourhoods.
Over the last three years, in our dozen quarterly issues to date, we’ve interviewed the charities and community groups that are at the heart of the area, and in particular those pioneering its green credentials.
And that’s not all. As well as reviewing the big exhibitions at the area’s fascinating mix of big destination galleries – the Wellcome Collection, British Library – we’ve reported on lesser-known spaces like the Elizabeth Garrett, 30 Euston Square and the Quakers building. All are worthy of your time.
And as well as the dozens of features on business owners and interesting locals, we’ve lost count of the many brilliant pop-ups, green routes and walks organised by Euston Town and their friends.
In amongst this esteemed company was Troy Baptiste, in recognition of his successful reintroduction of a regular weekly fruit and vegetable stall on Chalton Street Market. But Troy, a.k.a The Fruit Don, is busy doing a lot more besides.
In our latest issue, we speak to him about the difficulties – yet also the huge opportunities for social change – that London’s street markets hold in 2020 and beyond, and what he’s doing to harness all this positively for the community.
High street trading today is certainly a challenge, whether you are a stallholder or a famous department store, but with Camden home to some of our most historic and ancient street markets, could Troy show the way forwards for a new generation to thrive?
