Experience the vibrant atmosphere of London's East End with a visit to two of the capital's best-loved markets.

 

We’ll begin close to Spitalfields Market, one of London’s most popular shopping and dining destinations. Set beneath an impressive Victorian market roof, Spitalfields brings together a wonderful mixture of independent traders, artisan makers, fashion, jewellery, artwork, gifts and collectables. Alongside the market stalls you’ll find an excellent selection of shops, cafés and places to eat, making it a lovely spot to browse, stop for a coffee or enjoy lunch.

From Spitalfields, it’s just a short walk of around 7 minutes to Petticoat Lane, so you can easily enjoy both destinations during your visit. Steeped in East End history, Petticoat Lane has been associated with trading for generations and remains famous for its bustling market atmosphere and bargain shopping. Browse stalls and shops offering clothing, accessories, fabrics, household goods and much more while soaking up the sights and sounds of this fascinating part of London.

 

You’ll have free time to explore at your own pace, whether you prefer hunting for a bargain, discovering something a little different from the independent traders, sampling the tempting food on offer or simply enjoying the atmosphere of London’s historic East End.

For your convenience, our coach will drop off and pick up at the Brushfield Street bus stop on Commercial Street, conveniently situated for Spitalfields Market. From here, both markets can be explored on foot, with Spitalfields Market and Petticoat Lane approximately a 7-minute walk apart.

With two contrasting markets, plenty of shopping, an excellent choice of food and a fascinating historic setting, this promises to be an enjoyable day in one of London’s most distinctive neighbourhoods.
