Such a lot of great places here. The variety in food options alone is impressive. Gets busy but understandably so. Great for lunch, and they have benches to sit on. The brownies from Konditor are goodUpvoted 55 minutes ago

Very Good ServiceMay 19, 2016Great place to explore, with opportunity for unusual finds and vintage shopping. Good and growing selection of street food available.
Laurea de OcampoAugust 13, 2016Friday has fun vendors selling antiques & various vintage collections of items from silverware to clothing to perfume bottles to taxidermy to prints etc.
MadaAugust 7, 2017I love it .. try to check their activity schedule before you go there .. sometimes they have shows & whatever .. try to spend few hours in there .. different shops & brands .. also restaurants
Tiffany ZMarch 22, 2015Fabulous place! Modern, classy, fun and amazing to spend all day! Good markets clothes food stalls and so much more!! 😜
Sarah TaylorAugust 5, 2016Taberna de mercado is pretty ace. Also, bleecker street street burger has my heart, and it should have yours too. Try no peak times if poss as it's very touristy!
Ben JonesMarch 17, 2014Really nice map stall which I spent a while at. The stall-holder has more in stock than are on display, and some are not too expensive at all (under £20).
One of the favorites spots in London, it always has different merchandise of local designers .. it also have variety of food. Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼
Old-timers (pre-2006) will know the current site looks nothing like the original Old Spitalfields Market. It's cleaned up tremendously and now surrounded by high-end shops. Good or bad - you decide!
Frodo Baggins-SteeleDecember 24, 2012You'll find some brilliant handmade stuff here. Look out for the card guy. He makes the most fantastic cards, also the Jewellery stalls here are fantastic! You're missing out if you haven't been.
Hatim AlghamdiApril 10, 2015Love the place and the food is all good but don't miss the pizza and the khoshari they are the best there!
So many food options! Some stalls accept card payment. There are also few cash machines at the market. Good place for lunch all year round. They have benches and tables + heaters in winter.- Love this place! Great for lunch, coffee and dessert on weekdays. On Thursdays there is an antique market, with beautiful objects and materials. Also, the stores are amazing!
Deema Al-SalmanJuly 28, 2016To be honest there is nothing special about the market but the wide selection of food trucks which makes it great for lunch time..
العنـودMarch 11, 2017A large market with a variety of booths selling interesting items of arts, clothes and accessories, surrounded by restaurants and street food trucks under a glass roof
I come here for food and and atmosphere. My favourite is the duck truck on the outer side of the market
Julia KateJune 20, 2015Want something unique? Head here & support local talent...not the usual ho him market. Great eateries & rooftop bars nearby as well. Superb on Sunday :)
Pam LinFebruary 27, 2018Market selling everything from clothes to food to artwork. The market is full of cutting-edge fashion boutiques. THU - Antiques day, FRI - clothes/art, & WKD - a bit of everything
JayJanuary 20, 2016Amazing place to visit, shop, eat and drink.. Good restaurants, burger joints, or even food trucks serving food from all over the world..
Giorgi MerebashviliOctober 5, 2015Great place to go out on Sunday have nice food for great value and shop for vintage clothing
Katy ZackFebruary 3, 2017Charming market with great food stuffs at lunchtime. Tons of variety - you can't go wrong
CinziulliAugust 22, 2012The market is now open from Tuesday and even if it has become more commercial, you can still find some little treasures (expecially jewelry) and lovely people to welcome you.
Two Boots and a FarwaJanuary 14, 2018Most of the market favorites set up a permanent stall here! Definitely worth a visit. Go hungry.
- Emma WijningaSeptember 15, 2016Big market with nice food and great sellers. I bought some vinyl here and looked at clothes. More market stands on weekends!
Great place to walk around, especially during the weekend when the flea market is open. Many places around for a snack or drink
Deema_FahadAugust 26, 2015I love this place.. Once I visit it there was a vintage bazar 👌🏻 there is a variety of cafes & restaurants.. 💕
MonikaMarch 9, 2016Beautiful covered market. Good for vintage stuff or young designers. The Diner offers an impressive selection of craft beer (for a burger bar).
Samir GoelSeptember 17, 2017Delicious foods (highly recommend Ethiopian) and lovely high-energy vibe with great shopping
Hermione GrangerJuly 20, 2013Two cash machines in close proximity but only one is free. The one near the toilets, Teasmith, etc charges. Cross to the other side and there is a free ATM between giraffe cafe and the wine shop.
Sandra BlancoAugust 25, 2014Great market with great handmade creations like handmade natural flowers crowns: Sophie and Luna!!!!!! I love this market. Best day Saturdays
Amy BApril 29, 2017Great for what it is. Don't expect a flea market meets good court so much as a mini-mall meets popular restaurants. There's a Lululemon for goodness sake.
BielDecember 18, 2014Had spinach and feta quiche. Plus organic clementine juice. On Saturday, the market mostly sells handmade product, vintage stuff and jewels- The old 'Old Spitalfields Market' was much better, but with gentrification, the market has undergone a further transformation. Still, it is buzzing on a daily basis with an assortment of shops.
U can find nice handmade stuff there, some clothes made by young designers, unusual jewels. Actually market works on the week, but weekends are better time to visit it...
Favourite Sunday hangout. Lots of quirky stalls and nice restaurants. The book stall is amazing and cheap.
Very nice place with lots of interesting stuff lots of stands and good street food! A shoreditch must-visit!
Person 5November 23, 2016A mix of cheap tat and good quality clothing stalls. For such a small market its easy to get disoriented. Allocate time to explore but avoid the chain restaurants.
There are two italian booths inside - one sells pasta, another pizza. Pasta is great, now want to try pizza. Looks like wood oven.
JacquesMay 13, 2015beautiful market; so many crafts. Lots of restaurants surround the marketUpvoted Jul 25
Carlos DuarteMarch 15, 2018London's best market, plus great restaurants and food stalls, is also surrounded by modern shops.
James GoochMarch 19, 2017Great market to wander around. Take your time, grab a glass of prosecco and browse the stalls!- Some spots are on this app and you can get £5 discount for takeaway - more or less free lunch :)
So many amazing food options. We tried SmokoLoco's six hour smoked steak sandwich – delish!
