Are you looking for a great place to do your Christmas shopping? Are you tempted by tales of wonderful Festive markets around the continent?
Then the Independent Newspaper has good news for you, because there is no need to travel far as they have listed nearby Spitalfields Market in their top twelve places in Europe to shop this Christmas.
They say that with nearly 100 stalls and within a roofed building, Spitalfields offers everything you could want, with not just a variety of goods on offer but with a cheerful atmosphere, competitive prices, and food from all around the world too. There will also be Santa in his Winter Wonderland from 29th November to 24th December, though beware as he has every Tuesday off.
The Xmas lights have been on since November 13th, and a gospel choir come along to fill the air with carols, ancient and modern.
There has been a market in Spitalfields for 800 years when French Huguenots set it up so they could trade outside the restrictive City of London boundaries, and it is about time you went and visited. It is just a short walk from Liverpool Street and well worth calling in. Adults and children will have a wonderful time in this historic site, in the certainty that no matter what the weather throws at us, it is nice and snug in here.
