Brick Lane Market
This sprawling market off the Bethnal Green Road is an East End institution.
In medieval times bricks and tiles were manufactured in Brick Lane, hence the name. In the 18th Century, farmers used to sell their livestock and produce here.
In today's Brick Lane you'll find leather jackets, cheap jewellery, second hand and vintage merchandise, bric-a-brac, furniture, tools, footwear, clothes, fruit and vegetables and a jellied eel stand.
Walk down Cheshire Street to find indoor warehouses full of second hand and household goods, collectables, books and cheap music.
In Sclater Street there's a predominance of pet foods, provisions, electrical goods and tools, or try Cygnet Street for bicycles, meat, fruit, vegetables and frozen food.
Open from 8am until 2pm on Sundays only.
