Although the site is undergoing redevelopment (through to 2006), the Market remains open and is expected to remain at the current site once development is complete. HISTORY The Caledonian Market moved to its current location in 1950 after the old Caledonian Market site in Islington was designated for redevelopment in the late 1940s. {Link without Title} {Link without Title} {Link without Title} marché ouvert The opening hours of the Bermondsey Market from 6am until noon (some sources say 4am until 2pm) reflect the ancient law of in July 2003 during the Second Reading of the ''Dealing In Cultural Objects (Offences) Bill'': :I did not have information about marché ouvert in the deep recesses of my mind, but experts reliably inform me that it no longer exists. The hon. Member for Uxbridge (Mr. Randall ) will be surprised to learn that it has been abolished only recently. It used to exist in designated markets, including Bermondsey. I am sure that the promoter will be interested in telling the hon. Member for Southwark, North and Bermondsey ( Simon Hughes ) about that. In it, items could be sold before sunrise. Believe it or not, in this land of ours, people could sell stolen—my officials put "dodgy" in brackets, but we do not use that term—objects. I assure hon. Members that it has been abolished. I hope that that deals with the fears of the hon. Member for Uxbridge. {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS
