The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Spitalfields, England

July 26, 2021 Renato Branum

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Dogman and Rabbitgirl with Coffee Sculpture

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

This pair of bronze sculptures is the work of artists Gillie & Marc and form part of a series called Travel Everywhere With Love, which is a global art project intended to put versions of this installation in a hundred different locations round the world. There are already versions in the Netherlands, across Australia, across China, New York City, Singapore, and Indonesia, as well as in major galleries and private collections. The Spitalfields version has been deliberately placed close to a branch of Costa Coffee. A really interesting addition to the Spitalfields area.

Brick Lane

This historic street dates back approximately 450 years, and is now a popular place for great Indian food and Sunday markets.

Reviewed By Aveyron13 - Rodez, France

Been here a few years ago, wasn't disappointed with my second visit. The place is still as vibrant as ever, the indoor food market is heaven…...make sure you do the full tour before starting to eat as there's so much variety to choose from. Many food stalls outside also, together with a converted London Cab that's a coffee stall…...not just a novelty photo opportunity, a super cup of coffee too! Try the Dutch pancake stall if you have a sweet tooth...delicious :-) Spitalfields market within walking distance on the way back to Liverpool Street, also worth a visit...

Christ Church Spitalfields

Christ Church, Spitalfields is an Anglican parish church standing at a very strategic location between the City of London and the East End. Its congregations are drawn largely from those who live or work locally. The Church has a heart for social outreach and works with link charities and local organisations as well as delivering its own programmes.The iconic Grade I listed building has significant heritage credentials and draws thousands of tourists and visitors every year. Built under the Act of Parliament of 1711 which required the building of fifty new churches to serve the new populations on the fringes of London, Christ Church Spitalfields was one of only 12 actually built and architect Nicholas Hawksmoor's largest and grandest. The building was saved from demolition and has been restored through generous financial support from public and private funds. Its restoration has revealed it to be one of the outstanding monuments of English Baroque architecture and Hawksmoor's masterpiece.
