Abstract

Abstract This concluding chapter describes how food hawking declined in London over the twentieth century, before a very different street food phenomenon emerged after the 2007–8 financial crisis. It shows how street markets appeared to be thriving in the interwar period, but were actually falling in prominence due to factors like demographic change, a diminishing street life, and new motorized transport. It considers the recent rise of a culinary street food trend and how it differs in style and accessibility from street food of the past. This modern street food is also at odds with the fundamental, everyday importance of street vendors in large cities around the world.
