Spitalfields market
One of London’s oldest markets, Spitalfields Market is a seven-days-a-week destination. You’ll find an uncompromising array of independent stall holders, showcasing incredible hand-crafted and hard-to-find pieces that make every trip special and memorable.
Petticoat Lane Market (Sunday)
Petticoat Lane market has a rich history in textiles. This began in the 1750’s when the Huguenots fled from persecution in France and settled in the East End. Eastern European Jews (likewise fleeing oppression) took the tradition on in the late 18th and early 20th centuries.
A little confusingly, Petticoat Lane itself does not exist anymore. The Victorians felt the reference to undergarments was too racy and changed the name to Middlesex Street. That’s where the main part of the market can be found along with stalls on surrounding streets.
Behind the fashion, textile and leather goods stalls you can also discover Asian and African fabric shops.
