Our guides covering Spitalfields, London.
Spitalfields is where the City runs out and the East End begins: a market under a Victorian canopy, ringed by the finest Georgian streets in London, where the silk weavers' houses on Fournier Street still stand shoulder to shoulder. Brick Lane is a minute away, the Ten Bells is on the corner, and the glass towers start across the road.
Our Spitalfields guides cover the best of it, from the market traders worth queuing for to the restaurants and bars on the City fringe. Chosen on merit, for a Sunday browse or a night on the edge of the Square Mile.
