Fishs Eddy purchases large warehouses of left-over or out-of-use china as well as creating their own designs. So if you need some former TWA flatware or maybe Cynthia Rowley dishes this is the place to be. Also the prices are right and the attitude is far from pretentious.

If the massive stores like TopShop and H & M leave you overwhelmed, under-impressed, and wearing the same thing as everyone else, then Old Spitalfields Market is the place to go. Built in 1887 as a former food market, the Spitalfields building is now home to over 300 covered stalls manned by artisans and designers themselves. Open 7 days a week but Sunday is the best!
