Editorial Overview

About Old Spitalfields Market

Old Spitalfields Market is a covered market in Spitalfields, London, with a history spanning over 350 years on the same site. In 2005, regeneration created the public squares Bishops Square and Crispin Place, now part of the modern market. It lies in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, just outside the City of London, and is closest to Liverpool Street station. Visitors can explore a daily range of public markets featuring independent local stores and restaurants, alongside new office developments. The covered setting makes it ideal for browsing regardless of weather, and its mix of food, fashion, and unique goods offers something for everyone. The market is well-connected by tube and rail at Liverpool Street.
