# Old Spitalfields Market
Old Spitalfields Market is a vibrant East London destination located in E1 6DT, operating seven days a week as a thriving hub for shopping, dining and community events. The market hosts 43 food and drink establishments, 55 shops and stalls, and regularly programmes 122+ events throughout the year.
The business serves diverse audiences—from casual shoppers and food enthusiasts seeking quality street food and independent retailers, to cultural participants attending curated workshops and craft experiences. London Craft Week collaborations, wine tastings, chess meetups and copper-working masterclasses demonstrate their commitment to fostering creative community engagement beyond retail.
What distinguishes Old Spitalfields Market is its curation of independent traders and experiential programming rather than operating as a standard shopping centre. Recent additions like Holy Carrot—described as "London's leading destination for creative, vegetable forward dining"—and forthcoming luxury brands like Sephora reflect strategic tenant selection balancing artisanal vendors with established names. Their events calendar reveals sophisticated cultural programming; chess nights provide accessible weekly engagement whilst partnership with London Craft Week attracts serious hobbyists and professionals.
The market positions itself as an "extra day off" destination for bank holidays, emphasising leisure and exploration over transactional shopping. This approach transforms Spitalfields into a cultural landmark within East London's creative landscape, appealing to experiential consumers seeking authenticity, community connection and discovery rather than conventional high street retail.
