[London's first](/source/London_and_Greenwich_Railway) railway, from [London](/source/London_Bridge) to [Greenwich](/source/Greenwich_railway_station) was built through [Deptford](/source/Deptford_railway_station) in 1836. [Christopher Marlowe](/source/Christopher_Marlowe), the [playwright](/source/Playwright) was murdered nearby. Many of the [stalls](/source/Market_stall#Market_stall) have passed from one generation to the other. ## Economy A collection of new and used goods, with a prominence of food stalls spread out on the side streets and pavements, this vibrant market is filled with a diverse range of stallholders.[2] ## Details The market takes place every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, from around 7am until 4pm, in Deptford High Street, Douglas Way and the junction with Giffin Street. To see the whole range of stalls it is best to visit before midday as some stallholders pack up early. There is a broad mix of stalls selling items from fresh fish, foods, groceries, to antiques, [second hand](/source/Second_hand) [clothes](/source/Clothes) and [collectibles](/source/Collectibles). Many of the stalls sell ethnic goods, including [African](/source/African_cuisine), [Indian](/source/Indian_cuisine) and [Chinese](/source/Chinese_cuisine) foodstuff. It benefits in having a [Docklands Light Railway](/source/Docklands_Light_Railway) [Station](/source/Deptford_Bridge_DLR_station) and a [National Rail](/source/National_Rail) [Station](/source/Deptford_railway_station) close by. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-NFTF_1-0)** ["Deptford High Street Market"](http://www.nmtf.co.uk/markets.php?id_mar=1511).
