Old Spitalfields Market & the Silk Weavers

Shoreditch, London

A Preview

"Old Spitalfields Market has been selling things on this spot since sixteen thirty-eight — nearly four hundred years of continuous trading, first in fruit and vegetables, now in flat whites and vintage denim. But look past the market at the Georgian houses on the surrounding streets, and look UP. The top floors are almost all glass."
