Old Spitalfields Market

In this former Victorian market hall, you’ll find a wide array of stalls and boutiques selling everything from apparel to antiques. Food and drink options are aplenty, too, with traders such as Yum Bun (steamed buns), Dumpling Shack (Chinese soup dumplings) and Merkamo (vegan Ethiopian plates).

It’s adjacent to the City of London – the capital’s historical financial centre – which is worth strolling through for its classical architecture and winding alleyways with eccentric names.
