Old Spitalfields Market: We visited London's most underrated Christmas market

Enjoy the magic of the festive season at London’s most underrated Christmas markets

London is home to many (and we mean many) Christmas markets.

This year especially they seem to have popped up on every corner of the city.

But we think Old Spitalfields Market is the most underrated of them all.

Although the market is open year-round, each November it gets a festive makeover for the season.

The market’s shopping and dining areas are transformed with twinkling lights, decorations, and Christmas trees.

Old Spitalfields Market is packed to the brim with Christmas shopping opportunities and delicious street food.

It’s ideal for a spot of last-minute Christmas shopping, with independent retailers selling everything from art to clothes.

As one of London’s oldest markets, it looks even more spectacular by the light of the Christmas trees.

We headed down there to get the full festive experience. See how we got on in our video tour above or by clicking here.
