Spitalfields Market, located in East London, has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. It was originally established in 1638 when King Charles I gave a license for a market to be set up in Spital Square. This area, historically called "Spitalfields," derived its name from the "Hospital and Priory of St. Mary Spital," which was founded in the 12th century.

By the late 1600s, Spitalfields became a center for the Huguenot silk weavers, French Protestant refugees who fled religious persecution. They helped shape the character of the neighborhood and its industries. Over the years, the market grew as a hub for fruits, vegetables, and flowers, becoming an essential trading space for Londoners.

During the Victorian period, the market was formalized, and in 1887, the Spitalfields Market Act was passed, allowing for the construction of the market buildings that can still be seen today. The Victorian structure became iconic, though the market underwent several renovations in the 20th century.

By the late 20th century, wholesale operations were moved to New Spitalfields Market in Leyton, and the original site transformed into a space for artisans, designers, and food stalls. This revitalization in the 1990s and early 2000s helped Spitalfields Market regain its vibrancy, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals.

Today, Spitalfields is known for its diverse mix of independent vendors, offering everything from crafts to gourmet food, while maintaining its historical roots. The area around the market has also become an iconic cultural and commercial part of London.
