    Parents: 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.

    Thursday is the Antique/Vintage Market. Really fantastic selection of clothes, old pictures, film cameras, etc. Make sure you have a glass of wine at ANDROUET. Simply remarkable. Read more

    Plenty to see. Stall keepers are nice and friendly. Not pushy either. Prices vary and can get good bargains.

    Perfect 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

    In 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.

    Lots 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

    Keep an eye out for the schedule of free events at Spitalfields. If there's nothing on, grab a Square Pie - they're awesome

    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.

    This 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.

    Come on Thursday and Friday for great antiques. Try the baked potatoes in the food court for £3.75 too!

    Charles 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 .

    A great place to go in the middle of the city. The shops are nice but the market a bit tacky.

    On Sunday at around 4.30pm most of the food goes half price or a lot cheaper. Time to stock up!

    If you want to pay £30 for fish n chips and cider (honestly), go to Canteen. Pfff, what a joke. Market best on Sundays.

    Un 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.
