Covered Victorian market hall with fashion, design and food stalls, whatever the weather.
The hall is bright and high-ceilinged and pleasantly quiet on weekdays. Alongside fashion and design there are stalls with vinyl records, jewellery and small items from local makers. Directly opposite stands Nicholas Hawksmoor’s Christ Church Spitalfields. If you come early, you can then carry on through the streets of old Huguenot houses to Brick Lane.





Old Spitalfields Market is a covered market in Spitalfields, London. There has been a market on the site for over 350 years. In 1991 it gave its name to New Spitalfields Market in Leyton, where fruit and vegetables are now traded. In 2005, a regeneration programme resulted in the new public spaces: Bishops Square and Crispin Place, which are now part of the modern Spitalfields Market. A range of public markets runs daily, with independent local stores and restaurants - as well as new office developments. It is situated in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, just outside the City of London. The closest London Underground and mainline railway station is Liverpool Street.
