About

Spitalfields sits on the eastern edge of London's financial district. The area is defined by its historic market buildings and narrow Georgian streets. Brick Lane runs through its centre, known for its long history of immigrant communities and curry houses. The former fruit and vegetable market now operates as a covered market for crafts and food.

The area retains a dense mix of old weaving houses and modern development. Christ Church Spitalfields, a prominent 18th-century Hawksmoor church, anchors one end of the market. Sunday sees the Brick Lane Market spill onto surrounding pavements with vintage clothing and street food stalls. This creates a weekly transformation from a weekday commercial zone.
