Spitalfields Market E1

Know London

Spitalfields market is the world-famous East London destination which has been the site of a busy market since 1638. When King Charles gave a licence for flesh, fowl and roots to be sold in what was then known as Spittle Fields. Three hundred and sixty odd years later and now located within the historical Horner Buildings, the market continues to be the setting for a thriving narrative.

In one day a visitor to the market’s stalls and independent shops can pick up anything from fair trade cushions and rare vinyl to lovingly crafted notebooks and hand carved toy trains. There are jewel encrusted vintage boots for individualist tastes, reconditioned art deco sofas for elegant sensibilities and an excellent array of food for all hungry bellies!

Situated 5 minutes from Liverpool Street Station the market has wheelchair access and is buggy friendly with no escalators. It currently attracts 25,000 visitors per week.
