Shoreditch to Spitalfields: markets, coffee and food
By Staylio ·
You can make this an easy coffee and food day or follow the markets further east. The stops span Old Street, Shoreditch and Spitalfields, so pick the section that suits your time and check the journey between them. A Staylio booking is optional.
The everyday edit: coffee and a covered market
Start around Charlotte Road. Origin Coffee lists its Shoreditch café there, with a brew bar and a mural inside. From Shoreditch, continue towards Old Spitalfields Market for stalls, shops and food under its covered roof. Check the market’s current visitor information and individual traders’ opening details before you go.
For dinner, Dishoom Shoreditch is on Boundary Street and publishes its menus and booking options. If you would rather eat closer to the market, browse its current food traders first and choose on the day.
The Sunday edit: flowers or Brick Lane
Columbia Road Flower Market runs on Sundays, with flower and plant traders and shops along the street. The market’s own site has the current visiting details. For a different Sunday browse, Tower Hamlets lists Brick Lane Market for fashion, food and art. These are separate places: choose one as the focus rather than assuming both fit a short visit.
If you want a simple meal instead of more stalls, St. John Bread and Wine is on Commercial Street near Old Spitalfields Market. Check its current menu, opening and reservations directly.
