Katie JonesFebruary 27, 2011Parents: Smooth pavement of new build makes this East London's best high-street-retail-oriented place to take your kids scootering (scooting?). Agnés B, Jigsaw & Carluccios as well.
Look for the new book stall on the corner of the Lamb St and Bishops Sq entrances for really great books at really good prices. (via Scoville) Read more
Magdalena MrázkováMay 3, 2015Place with its own beat - brilliant combination of old and architecture, old and new shops and pubs
Anne LawMarch 31, 2013Plenty to see. Stall keepers are nice and friendly. Not pushy either. Prices vary and can get good bargains.
Syukri ShairiJanuary 6, 2011Perfect for finding bric a brac and little art pieces, and awesome independent clothing! Remember go on a Sunday! The Indonesian food stall is worth a try- Marc CurantMarch 22, 2011Lots of regular markets during the week but Sundays are best but don't forget to pop over to the Brick Lane area... Plenty more market stalls and food / bars
Andrew SmallwoodDecember 3, 2011Keep an eye out for the schedule of free events at Spitalfields. If there's nothing on, grab a Square Pie - they're awesome
BritannicaAugust 5, 2011In 1682 Spitalfields Market was established on Commercial Street under the ownership of John Balch. The market was known for its trade in silks and in fresh fruits and vegetables.
Call it commercial or gentrified or whatever... Spitalfields has still got it in my opinion. Would spend every lazy Sunday in the side streets if I could.
Come on Thursday and Friday for great antiques. Try the baked potatoes in the food court for £3.75 too!- HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011This area gets its name from the fields of the hospital of St.Mary’s priory, founded in 1197 on the site of a Roman cemetery. It was demolished in the Reformation.
- HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011Charles I gave a license for a market here in 1638, selling ‘flesh, fowl and roots’. The wholesale fruit and veg market moved to New Spitalfields in Leyton in 1991 .
Johny MiricJuly 13, 2010If you are around you shouldn't miss this newly renovated market. I like the mix of modern and historic buildings
Fiona SmallcornOctober 26, 2011A great place to go in the middle of the city. The shops are nice but the market a bit tacky.- Nicholas LativyJuly 10, 2010Must come on a Sunday and wander through here and down Brick Lane. The chocolate brownies from a stall at this market are awesome :)
Best way to start the day - scrumptious poached egg cups from Leo in Spitalfields Read more
Stavroula KonidariJune 12, 2011On Sunday at around 4.30pm most of the food goes half price or a lot cheaper. Time to stock up!
Robert BridgeMay 23, 2010Sunday market really cool everybody out there looking really cool and good coffeehouses.
Ann DanylkiwMarch 11, 2011Rainforest Creations stall-- unbelievably good and good for you vegan food
Chaos Killed the Dinosaurs DukeDecember 16, 2013Doing some Christmas shopping down Spitalfields market!
Try the cake stall in the corner. You won't regret it!
Sunday is Market day, but lots of shops and food places open during the week.
The old Fruit and Wool Exchange is a cool office to work in
Charlotte SallisApril 2, 2010If you want to pay £30 for fish n chips and cider (honestly), go to Canteen. Pfff, what a joke. Market best on Sundays.
Use this venue instead of Leon Spitalfields until the geocoding is fixed. :-)
WATM MagazineMarch 29, 2011Un marché dont vous ne risquez pas de vous lasser : vieux vinyles, bouquins, fripes, appareils photos… Il s’agit du marché vintage à faire, si vous n’avez pas grand-chose à faire le dimanche.
