Spitalfields Market

Spitalfields Market is a historic covered market located in the East End of London, in the borough of Tower Hamlets. The original market dates back to the 17th century when Charles II granted a licence for a market to be held on Spital Fields, and the current Victorian market building was constructed in the 1880s. Today the market operates as a thriving retail and food market, blending original Victorian architecture with modern extensions, and is surrounded by a neighbourhood renowned for its artistic and multicultural character.
