Nestled in the heart of the city, in the shadow of Christ Church, Spitalfields Market marries market stalls with modern shops and restaurants. Where the delightful old covered market used to be, just off Brushfield Street if you're coming from Liverpool Street Station, you'll find covered market stalls alongside glass fronted shops. The stalls are the place to look for something original, of excellent quality and good value for money and Sundays are by far the busiest, with over 150 stalls operating. There's so much to do and see here - and plenty of interesting shops surrounding the covered market too. Spitalfields has evolved, combining the appeal of the old market with the new so you get brands like Canteen, Agnes B and Benefit behind the large glass fronted stores happily coexisting with sole traders selling quirky clothes and homemade chocolate brownies from their market stalls.
