Old Spitalfields Christmas market

Old Spitalfields Christmas market transforms one of East London's most historic covered markets into a festive wonderland from mid-November through early January. Located in the beautifully restored Victorian market hall, this Christmas market combines the venue's rich 300-year heritage with contemporary seasonal celebrations. Browse through themed stalls featuring handmade crafts, original artworks, vintage treasures, and designer-maker goods, while the market's permanent food traders and pop-up vendors serve everything from hot chocolate trails to seasonal cocktails. The market features spectacular decorations including London's biggest wreaths draped in neon lights, created with Hackney's Pom Pom Factory, and an Instagram-worthy present-filled phone box photo opportunity. Special events throughout December include Christmas Shopping Lates on select Wednesdays with extended hours until 8pm, live gospel choirs, wreath-making workshops, and weekly themed markets like Urban Makers and the Antiques Market. The venue's covered setting makes it perfect for all-weather shopping, with the surrounding Spitalfields neighborhood offering additional boutiques, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Daily market stalls operate Friday through Wednesday, with the traditional Antiques Market taking over on Thursdays. Visit Old Spitalfields Christmas market for a uniquely East London festive experience that blends traditional Christmas charm with the area's creative, independent spirit.
