A London Christmas market has been ranked among the top 12 Christmas markets—and it opens today!
Christmas markets across the UK and Europe are well-known for their festive atmosphere, marking the beginning of the holiday season.
Although Cologne's huge Christmas market often takes the spotlight as Europe’s best, people in the UK also have their own magical spots to enjoy.
Spitalfields Market made it onto the Indie’s list, ranked as one of the top markets in the country and the only one from London to make the list.
The top spot went to Bath, followed by markets in Birmingham, Cardiff, and Winchester.
With an impressive 42 food and drink stalls along with 56 shops, Spitalfields has a wide variety of activities to enjoy.
Food lovers have lots to be excited about, with tasty bites ranging from classic festive treats like mince pies and mulled wine to global flavours like bao buns and Jamaican curry goat.
Just a short walk from Liverpool Street station in East London, Spitalfields Market is a busy, historic place known for its mix of independent shops, vintage stalls, artisan food, and unique art, bringing together both old and new vibes.
The Christmas fun begins with the market’s lights switch-on, planned for Wednesday, 13 November at 5:30pm.
This magical event will include free face painting, kids' craft workshops, and a performance by the market’s own gospel choir, making it perfect for families.
This Christmas market is a must-see for anyone wanting to dive into the holiday spirit and make special festive memories.
