Where is Spitalfields?

Spitalfields is a historic area in the East End, close to the City of London. Known for its indie shops and markets, it also features striking architecture.

The name is associated with St Mary Spital, a medieval hospital that once stood in the area. Founded in the 12th century, it was a religious hospital that served travellers and local people in poverty.

The area had many weavers who worked from home or workshops, but as London’s population expanded, the area developed a reputaton for poor living conditions, in the 19th century.

Spitalfields market has existed for centuries, where you can find lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, to take home after your vegan burger or carvery feast eating out at Unity Diner.

Or pop to nearby Brick Lane to find nice vintage shops for browsing. Or simply admire the local Georgian architecture, beautiful examples from the 18th century .
