There has been a market on the site of Old Spitalfields Market since 1638, when King Charles I gave a license for flesh, fowl, and roots to be sold there. Today, Old Spitalfields is one of London’s top markets, offering antiques, clothes, organic food, artwork, and vinyl records. It’s particularly recognized as a place for young designers to showcase their work, and is considered very fashionable. As it’s a covered market, you don’t need to worry about rain. Once you’ve worked up an appetite from shopping, visit one of the stalls selling food, or one of the restaurants and cafes also in the covered area.

There's lots of stores and few food stools, but they're all quite similar. If you're looking for jewelery or printed t shirts then you'll enjoy it but theres better markets in London. As expected...

With the exception of the jewellery stall the main market was a bit disappointing. However, the hand-pulled cumin noodles and dumplings from the Food Hall were both excellent.
