Brick Lane Market

Brick Lane, as the centre of the Bengali community is famous for its curry houses, but it also homes a fantastic Sunday market beloved by bargain lovers from all over London.

It is only open during the morning but if you make the effort to get down there rather then have a lazy Sunday morning you will be treated to an array of fresh produce including meat, books, household goods, spices, second hand clothing and products, electrical goods and all kinds of bric-a-brac, Brick Lane market has grown immensely, so much so in fact that it has now spread into the nearby Cheshire and Slater Streets.

The market is open from 8am to 2pm, for the early rising bargain hunters only.
