Nestled in the heart of the city, in the shadow of Christ Church, Spitalfields Market offers the perfect antidote to out-of-town shopping malls. You'll find the delightful covered market in Crispin Place under a Foster & Partners designed glass canopy. The stalls under the covered part of the market are the place to look for something original, of excellent quality and value for money. Sundays are by far the busiest, with up to 110 stalls operating, including organic food stalls and fun fashion and design wear - you can often find young designers showcasing their work. There's so much to do and see here - and plenty of interesting shops surrounding the covered market too. Spitalfields has evolved elegantly, combining the new with the old so you'll get brands like Canteen, Agnes B and Benefit behind the large glass fronted stores happily sitting next to sole traders selling quirky clothes from their market stalls.
MARKET STALLS: DAYS & TIMES: Tuesday to Friday: 10am-4pm Sunday: 9am-5pm
