Petticoat Lane Market, Street market in Tower Hamlets, England
Petticoat Lane Market extends across Middlesex Street and surrounding streets, offering clothing, accessories, leather goods, and household items from over 1000 stalls.
The market dates back to the 1600s when French Huguenot traders established their businesses selling petticoats and lace in this location.
The market reflects London's diverse communities through its international vendors, varied merchandise, and traditional street trading practices that span generations.
The market operates on Wentworth Street from Monday to Friday, while the main market opens on Sundays from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
Middlesex Street received its current name in the 1800s to replace Petticoat Lane, which Victorians considered inappropriate due to its reference to undergarments.
