Bricklane Market

On a sunny Sunday be warned that you will barely be able to move due to the sheer volume of people. Every Sunday street vendors come and lay out stuff all along the street whether it be vintage clothes, general carboot sale clutter, hand printed t-shirts or food ranging from falafel to the most amazing (and cheap!) fruit smoothies, it could be a whole day out, it’s pretty down market though, everything is just laid out on the pavement. Since the over-gentrification of near by Spitalfields market, many of the old vendors have moved out to the area’s surrounding Bricklane. Spitalfields itself is now small chain restaurants, some good ones mind you, (so it’s not all bad) and fancy wine shops, gift shops and shops selling clothes Sienna Miller would wear. It does still maintain a healthy collection of stalls, just a paired down version so at least now there is room to move it just lacks a bit of the old atmosphere (the Spitalfields part that is).
