Once upon a time London’s east enders flocked to Roman Road Market… to wander, to shop, to make a living, to chat. Today competition from online retailers and a huge new shopping mall nearby leave the venerable old street market struggling. The "Down the Roman" campaign showcases real-life stories, memories and anecdotes from the people at the heart of today’s Roman Road. It’s a campaign designed to attract new visitors, reinforce old loyalties, and revitalise The Roman as a thriving neighbourhood marketplace.
