View of Sherrin Gate entrance, towards stalls selling puppets and fashions, Old Spitalfields Market, Brushfield Street, London
Old Spitalfields Market is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, just outside the City of London. In 1638, Charles 1 gave a licence for flesh, fowl and roots to be sold at Spittle Fields, then a rural area on the eastern outskirts of London. Charles II re-founded the market, to feed London's growing population, in 1682. In 1991 the wholesale fruit and vegetable market moved to New Spitalfields, at Leyton, in East London. The Old Spitalfields Market Hall was built 1885-1893. Now restored, it is the location today of fashion, arts and crafts, food, jewellery and general market stalls, open seven days a week and busy at weekends. A mid-week of the Sherrin Gate entrance, Brushfield Street.
