Mercato Mayfair<\/h2>\n<p>Since 2019, this beautiful Grade-1 listed building has been repurposed as a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. From fresh artisan Italian pasta to vibrant Mexican nachos, there is something for everyone here. The grand wooden doors welcome all walk-ins to the huge nave of what used to be <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/qkC2Mh8i5bwdyeRm9\">St Mark&#8217;s Church<\/a><\/strong>, a heritage site still beautifully preserved in all its details.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1183015 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/onabreak.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PXL_20260604_172014296-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onabreak.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PXL_20260604_172014296-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onabreak.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PXL_20260604_172014296-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onabreak.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PXL_20260604_172014296-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onabreak.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PXL_20260604_172014296-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onabreak.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PXL_20260604_172014296-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/onabreak.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PXL_20260604_172014296-1440x810.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>The market offers four floors of food and drink stalls, including the crypt down below and a roof-top gallery. We took our time to explore all the options and finally landed on the first floor at Club Mexicana.

The building has been repurposed to perfection, with even the confession booth near the entrance being transformed into a photo booth while keeping its original features. The painted glass windows and detailed floor tiles give this food court a different edge &#8211; a modern-meets-old feel, where today&#8217;s life moves on from the past in all its beauty and diversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top Tip<\/strong>: Check out their website <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mercatometropolitano.com\/\">mercatometropolitano.com<\/a><\/strong> before heading there, they often have special offers including lunchtime deals!<\/p>\n<h2>2.
