Spitalfields

united kingdom

Spitalfields lies in East London, bounded by the City and extending toward Brick Lane. Drivers from outside London typically approach via the M25, then the A10 or A1 southbound, navigating through North London on the A501 or A40. The A1202 Commercial Street runs north-south through the district, whilst Bishopsgate forms the western boundary. Most of the area falls within the congestion charge zone. The Sunday market at Old Spitalfields has traded continuously since 1638.
