Spitalfields Market, by Daniel Silk on Aug 14, 2008 12:20:27 GMT 1, www.birminghammail.net/lifestyle/travel/travel-reports/2008/08/13/eastern-flavour-for-the-sabbath-97319-21525010/
Eastern flavour for the Sabbath Aug 13 2008 SUNDAY in the city is best spent in the east end, at Spitalfields Market. Just behind, Liverpool Street Station and in the shadow of the iconic Gherkin, the revitalised Spitalfields is a dream for the cost-conscious fashion pack with its mixture of unique designs and vintage stalls. Interior design fanatics won't be disappointed either with the handful of retailers toting bespoke furniture and home accessories. There's even the chance to own your own Banksy, with numerous traders selling canvas prints of work by the elusive graffiti artist. The market hall is clean and bright and there's also plenty of places to take lunch such as Leon, Canteen and Giraffe. After battling the Sunday shoppers, we found our rewards at a food stall selling heavenly organic Caribbean food for ยฃ5 a box. Thrifty and delicious. There was even room for a slice of banana cake from a neighbouring trader. Close to Spitalfields is the historic Brick Lane, best known as the former hub of London's Jewish community but now heart of the city's Bangladeshi community. As well as Bangladeshi restaurants, cafes and sweet emporiums, there are also vintage clothing shops aplenty and young trendies selling their wares on both sides of the road. It's a feast for the senses. An easy place to spend Sunday afternoon.
