Making Spaces for Memories in Seven Sisters Market

retail

Seven Sisters Market, N15 5JT

Join us to explore the newly reopened Seven Sisters market and surrounding area. Known as a hub for North London’s Latin American community, the market has been closed since 2021 whilst the site has been undergoing development. The reopening of this site in June 2025 gives us a great opportunity to gather together, remember the history of the market and collectively imagine its future.

About

What is a “linguistic landscape”?

In sociolinguistics, the “linguistic landscape” refers to the ways in which different languages are present in, and interact with, the built environment (shop signs, graffiti, stickers, music lyrics, etc.). By taking time out to examine the linguistic landscape of Seven Sisters market and the surrounding area, we hope participants can come to a new understanding of the way the space is constructed, contested and lived out in the everyday.
