Old Spitalfields Market in London: must-visit market in Shoreditch

Planning a visit to London and love markets where old and new collide? Then put Old Spitalfields Market at the top of your list. This indoor market, housed in a beautiful Victorian building, is located in the creative heart of East London, on the border between Shoreditch and Spitalfields. It's a place where you can find vintage, design, street food, and unique finds from local artisans seven days a week.

Over the years, the market has become a firm favorite among Londoners and travelers alike. Where you used to find primarily antiques and vintage items, Old Spitalfields is now a mix of independent labels, art, music, and culinary hotspots. Each day has its own unique vibe and offerings, with Saturdays still boasting the best selection of vintage clothing and accessories.
