Spitalfields Travel

In the morning, walk 5 minutes from Liverpool Street station to Old Spitalfields Market, wandering through the Victorian wrought-iron and glass hall among independent designer brands, vintage stalls and artisan food. Then visit Christ Church Spitalfields — Hawksmoor's Baroque architectural masterpiece, climbing the bell tower for panoramic London views. In the afternoon, stroll towards Broadway Market, admiring Huguenot silk weaver terraced houses along the way. Head into Brick Lane in the afternoon, searching for original works by Banksy and Stik among the graffiti-covered walls, and treasure hunt in vintage markets. In the evening, enjoy authentic Bengali curry on Brick Lane, finishing late at night with a salt beef bagel from the 24-hour Beigel Bake.

Start the morning at Bishop's Square with coffee and croissants, admiring public art installations and street performances. In the morning, visit Dennis Severs' House — an 18th-century silk weaver's terraced house staged as if "still lived in," with candlelight, table scraps and dying embers creating an immersive time-travel experience. Then stroll along Raven Row to admire beautifully preserved Huguenot silk merchant facades. At midday, enjoy an English lunch at Ten Bells — a Grade II listed pub opened in 1888, with Victorian tile murals telling the weavers' story. In the afternoon, explore Spitalfields City Farm, meeting donkeys, goats and organic vegetable gardens in the urban heart. In the evening, return to the market hall for a glass of natural wine at the Italian bistro BOTTLES to end the journey.
