About

If you love a market with character, style, and a bit of everything, Old Spitalfields Market is the place to be.

This East London gem blends independent traders, vintage fashion, artisanal food, and designer brands, all under one iconic Victorian roof.

Whether you’re hunting for unique streetwear, digging through vinyl, or just here for the legendary street food, there’s always something new to discover.

Grab a bite from one of the top-notch food stalls, sip on craft coffee (or a cheeky cocktail), and soak up the buzzing atmosphere.

Part historic landmark, part trendsetter’s paradise—this market is one of the best outdoor activities you can do in East London!

‘‘Awesome food stalls, variety of every type of food. Recommend the hand, cut noodles and dumpling shop 4 stalls down.’

What we think you need to try

• Humble Crumble: Extremely busy and a little hard to find, but this instagram dish definitely is worth the try.

• Dumpling Shack: this is the one your work colleagues will love. Often at least so. Always long queues during lunch time but definitely worth the try if you are nearby the market.

• Sud Italia: a proper Neapolitan pizza, there is just nothing else to say. The crust is perfect, just like you would expect to see on a pizza, sauce is fab and toppings are also great
