    I'd have to say, this is one of my favourite markets to visit. You a nice mix of jewelry, clothing, bags etc. It's something completely different to all markets. I loved the food market too. I didn't have enough time to explore and take it all in. I'll definitely go back.

    For us it was one of the best experiences ever in a market. We felt so welcomed. We highly recommend Old Spitalfields Market for individuals but also for traders too. Great way to showcase your products in front of a large audience . Amazing coffee, drinks and delicious food . Thank you for having us. Looking forward to see you soon

    Vibrant market with public arts, rich choices of merchandise and world cuisine. Also filled with people. So easy to kill hours of time at this place without getting bored. It was a nice and pleasant day for outdoor sitting. The market itself under a roof, so a rainy day wouldn't be a problem, I'd imagine. It appears the patrons were more like local folks than curious tourists.

    This is one of my favourite markets in London. It has so much too offer in terms of food and shopping. All of the food I tried here was unbelievable. However the shops were quite repetitive but still a great experience overall.

    One of my favorite markets in London. So many different food options, I'll need to make several more trips to make the most of it! I've also gotten really high quality items here: a coat, a bag, baby clothes and more.

    A truly dizzying collection of stalls selling clothes, posters, handicrafts, and last but not the least, food from across the globe. The clothes seemed more innovative than standard high street products. Dumplings, hand pulled noodles, arepas, burgers, naan wraps, pasta, samosas and everything in between are on sale. Be prepared to queue for the popular vendors.

    Lovely market with many, many stalls and so much food. Could spend hours walking around here but don’t be surprised if you part ways with your cash at almost each turn because everything looks so nice here!💸 lots of small independent sellers and artists. Lunch hour was crowded and seats were hard to find. But the food - hand pulled noodles and kunafe-esque baklava were excellent, and there were so many other options we didn’t get to try.

    Loved everything about this market. The food is amazing and so are the vibes! Quite pleasant to just walk around and explore the place and even the neighborhood! Good for buying books, all the books here were priced between £6 and £8. Loads of options for clothes, food, jewelry, vintage items, and you can also find the very popular Humble Crumble outlet here!!

    Spitalfields Market, a bustling marketplace, is open seven days a week, offering an array of permanent stalls as well as unique stalls that make appearances once a week. The market is housed under a fully covered space with limited seating available in and around the area. Personally, Thursdays are my favourite when the Antiques traders grace the market with their fascinating offerings. Wednesday, silk series focus on fashion and art. Friday, vinyl records fair on the first and third Friday of the month.

    Have to love the Elephanta that are nearby! Beyond the elephants, the range of things within the market is great with food and drinks also available. Public toilets are also in the market.

    Love Spitalfields. Plenty of food stalls all of which look lovely. We went for Melts, toasted cheese sandwich with a little pot of tomato soup for dipping...delicious. We also got donuts from Donovans, they were equally yummy and huge. There is also some market stalls to wander around and the whole place being under cover is a bonus. The seating areas aren't great so we took our food and sat outside by the fish pond.

    Absolutely loved this market! There are so many vendors and stalls to look around at! They were all super friendly and helpful! We had a great time! They also have a great variety of items, and if you get hungry, there are a ton of food trucks and stalls to eat at! If you go when it's busy, it will be hard to find seating. But that's expected when you go to popular places.

    Good food, artisan products and vibes. Definitely worth a quick visit if you're in the area. You'll definitely find something to spend money on, so be warned. Note: most shopkeepers do not like having pictures taken for some reason. I suppose there are too many tourists stopping to take pictures but not actually buying anything, so that's understandable.

    A must visit local market, we were there on Sunday morning, it got pretty busy with lots of people and lots of choice of food. A great place to explore, they also had lots of pop up shops. Arts, clothes, food, and fun

    A great old but well designed food market, with good food booths and clothing stores. There's a lack of seats there and the restroom is a bit small for such size of market.

  • 5/5 Mimi S. 1 year ago on Google
    The market has become a commercial place, less authentic, but still has charm. Especially in the part that sells fruits and vegetables, which still functions as a market. There are many stalls of food from different places, stalls of sweet dishes, stalls of drinks, such as tea, or a counter with a coffee machine. We really liked the falafel stand that serves vegan dishes. There are tables and benches where you can sit and eat.

    One of the best markets I’ve visited in London. They have themed days - on some days they have antique vendors, record vendors etc. There are a bunch of food stalls and lots of picnic tables to eat at. The market is large and spacious. You can easily spend a couple hours here, more if you eat. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful market, from handmade items to high end fashion items. Great food hall and fantastic restaurants to eat at when you get hungry! Always have a look at the lovely handmade stalls, they always have different people selling their own handmade items. Support small businesses! Always beautiful decorations all around!

    Stumbled across this market when visiting the Old Truman brewery area in Brick Lane. Like the East End it is very trendy and colourful now with stall after stall of clothing, funky bric a brac and old vinyl. Very photogenic but not all the stall holders welcomed photography. Maybe not so authentic, but definitely worth a visit if markets are your thing.
