Chrisp Street Market, Market with clock tower in Tower Hamlets, England
Chrisp Street Market contains 48 food vendors, 20 general shops, and numerous stalls offering products ranging from fresh produce to household items.
Frederick Gibberd designed this first purpose-built pedestrian shopping area in the United Kingdom, which opened during the 1951 Festival of Britain.
The market reflects London's diversity through its merchants, who offer products from multiple international traditions alongside traditional East End specialties.
Visitors can reach the market via All Saints or Langdon Park DLR stations, with additional access through London Bus routes 15, 108, 115, and D8.
The Grade II-listed clock tower stands as the market's central architectural element, marking the first pedestrianized shopping area in Britain.
