About

Petticoat Lane Market, situated in the heart of Spitalfields, is one of London’s oldest and most colourful street markets. The market occupies two adjacent streets – Wentworth Street, which is open Monday to Friday, and Middlesex Street, which opens every Sunday. Visitors can wander through a vibrant maze of stalls selling vintage clothing, handmade crafts, and street food, while the historic atmosphere recalls the market’s origins in the Tudor era. With a rich tapestry of immigrant cultures that have shaped the area, it offers a truly eclectic shopping experience that blends heritage and contemporary street style.
