About the Market
Published: 22nd June 2010
London's Brick Lane Market is a traditional flea-market with a wide array of goods on sale including vintage clothes, furniture, bric-a-brac, music, and so much more. The market is spread out along Brick Lane and spills out onto the side streets.
At the bottom of Brick Lane you'll find some wonderful fabric stores selling gorgeous Indian sari silks. Around the middle it gets very trendy around the Old Truman Brewery, then at the top it's more junk and anything for sale. Yes, I have seen single shoes on sale here
Brick Lane Market Opening Hours
Sundays only: 8am - 2pm
Allow plenty of time to see it all as the market stretches into Cheshire Street and Sclater Street.
Other Markets In The Area

Old Spitalfields Market
Old Spitalfields Market is now a seriously cool place to shop. The market is surrounded by independent shops selling hand-made crafts, fashion, and gifts. The market is busiest on Sundays, but is there Monday to Friday too. Shops open 7 days a week.
See: Old Spitalfields Market Guide.
Petticoat Lane Market
Petticoat Lane was established over 400 years ago by the French Huguenots who sold petticoats and lace here. The prudish Victorians changed the name of the Lane and market to avoid referring to woman's underclothes!
See: Petticoat Lane Guide.
Columbia Road Flower Market
Every Sunday, 8am-2pm, along this narrow cobbled street, you can find over 50 market stalls and 30 shops selling flowers, and gardening supplies. It's a truly colorful experience.
