The market is located on the east side of the railway viaduct for the Hammersmith and City Tube line, and is bordered on the north side by the Uxbridge Road, and on the south by the Goldhawk Road.
The market dates back to the early part of the twentieth century, when the present layout of the Hammersmith and City tube line was fixed.
The market opened for business in around 1914, with shops lining the railway viaduct.
It was closed briefly in 1915 to make way for the billeted troops but was given a new lease of life in 1918 as soldiers returning from the Western Front were offered stalls to help restart their lives.
