Nearby Old Spitalfields Market

 
 
Old Spitalfields MarketNestled in the heart of the city, in the shadow of Christ Church, Old Spitalfields Market offers the perfect antidote to out-of-town shopping malls. You'll find the delightful old covered market off Brushfield Street if you're coming from Liverpool Street Station. 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 over 150 stalls operating, including a specialist organic market. On Fridays, there's a fun Fashion and Design Market where young designers showcase 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 & EVENTS:
Thursday: Antiques and Retro Market
Friday: Fashion and Design Market (and Record Fair - 1st & 3rd Friday of the month)
Sunday: General Market including food, fashion & art
