Old Spitalfields Market, Market hall in Tower Hamlets, England.

The covered market features numerous stalls selling handmade crafts, vintage items, fashion accessories, and fresh produce across multiple indoor sections and walkways.

King Charles I granted the first market license in 1638, allowing traders to sell meat, poultry, and vegetables to serve the expanding London population.

Throughout the week, various specialist markets rotate through the space, including antique fairs on Thursdays and vinyl record sales on specific dates.

Located near Liverpool Street Station, the market opens daily from early morning until evening, with different vendors and events scheduled each day.

The Victorian market buildings, constructed between 1885 and 1893, maintain their original architectural features while incorporating modern retail spaces.
