Spitalfields Market

About

Spitalfields Market is a dynamic blend of heritage and innovation in the heart of East London. With origins dating back to 1682, when King Charles II granted a Royal Charter for a market on the site, it has evolved from a hub for fresh produce into a vibrant destination for fashion, food, and culture. Housed beneath a striking Victorian roof, the market today hosts a curated mix of independent designers, vintage traders, and gourmet street food vendors. Its rich history is reflected in the surrounding streets, once home to Huguenot silk weavers and now a canvas for contemporary art and design. Open seven days a week, Spitalfields offers more than shopping—it’s a place to explore London’s layered past while enjoying its creative present. Whether you're browsing handmade crafts, sampling global cuisine, or soaking in the atmosphere, Spitalfields Market remains one of the capital’s most compelling cultural crossroads.
