Old Spitalfields Market

$ · BudgetLeashed only

Covered Victorian market in East London with independent fashion, vintage and food stalls, whose own journal describes it as East London's dog-friendly market. Official content notes all market traders are dog-friendly and The Kitchens street-food area has seating where your dog can sit with you.

Why it made the list

A rain-proof market day out where the official site confirms traders welcome your dog while you browse.

Good to know before you go

The market's official journal piece details dog-friendly stores (Mercantile, & Other Stories, Diptyque) and confirms 'All of the market traders are dog-friendly' with dogs welcome in The Kitchens seating area; keep dogs on lead in crowded areas.

Practical notes

  • Visit on a weekday for fewer crowds if your dog is nervous
  • The Butchery doesn't allow dogs inside but sells natural dog treats
