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 good

You'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.

Really 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).

Taberna 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!

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!

Love 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, 2016
To be honest there is nothing special about the market but the wide selection of food trucks which makes it great for lunch time..

A 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
Pam LinFebruary 27, 2018

The 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.

Amazing place to visit, shop, eat and drink.. Good restaurants, burger joints, or even food trucks serving food from all over the world..

Most of the market favorites set up a permanent stall here! Definitely worth a visit. Go hungry.

Great place to walk around, especially during the weekend when the flea market is open. Many places around for a snack or drink

Two 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.
MonikaMarch 9, 2016
Beautiful covered market. Good for vintage stuff or young designers. The Diner offers an impressive selection of craft beer (for a burger bar).

Had spinach and feta quiche. Plus organic clementine juice. On Saturday, the market mostly sells handmade product, vintage stuff and jewels

Great 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.

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...

A 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.

Some spots are on this app and you can get £5 discount for takeaway - more or less free lunch :)

If you get bored of shopping, explore the streets between the market and brick lane. There are some beautiful houses to see

Try out the Scandinavian food bar, O-food. Nice food and a cozy backyard.
Carlos DuarteMarch 15, 2018
London's best market, plus great restaurants and food stalls, is also surrounded by modern shops.

Great market to wander around. Take your time, grab a glass of prosecco and browse the stalls!
