Brick Lane is the heart of London’s Bangladeshi community, recognisable by the street signs in two scripts. On Sundays stalls fill the yards of the former Truman Brewery, with second-hand clothes and food from around the world. Side streets such as Hanbury Street are full of street art. The bagel bakeries at the northern end are almost always open and a classic.
Brick Lane Market is the collective name for a number of London markets centred on Brick Lane, in Tower Hamlets in east London. The original market was located at the northern end of Brick Lane and in the heart of what is now east London's Bangladeshi community but now commonly refers to the various markets that are housed along the famous London street. The various markets that stretch the length of Brick Lane operate both weekdays but most historically weekends: Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The markets sell a diverse range of items, from antique books to eight-track cartridge decks, vintage clothing to street food, and for many years hosted a stall selling nothing but rusty cog wheels. The markets have always been popular with and much photographed by art students, and bargain hunters from across London value it greatly.
