Old Spitalfields Market: A Vibrant Blend of History, Art, and the Colour Walk Celebration
Old Spitalfields Market is a place where art, fashion, gifts, antiques and food are combined, across its market stalls, shops and restaurants.
Built in 1876, it is one of the finest surviving Victorian Market Halls in the capital. Nestled in the cobbled streets between Brick Lane and Bishopsgate,the market is steeped in history; a market has operated on the site since the 1600s.
Curious and out of ordinary:
Every third Wednesday of the month, Old Spitalfields Market transforms into a lively, colorful spectacle. The Colour Walk is a parade of individuals dressed in bold, attention-grabbing outfits—where the brighter, the better! It invites people to freely express their identity through vibrant, eye-catching attire.
It’s an event that encourages self-expression, creativity, and embracing diversity, turning the market into a rainbow of personalities.
What makes this walk truly special is its celebration of inclusivity. People of all backgrounds, ages, and styles come together, united by their love of color and individuality. There’s no strict dress code, but the only “requirement” is a love for color, making the Colour Walk an open invitation for everyone to join in and proudly showcase their unique style.
