When planning a trip to London, a visit to Shoreditch is a must on any London itinerary. If you want to appreciate London’s young creative community, you should definitely visit the Backyard Market.
This East London’s best artisanal market celebrates arts & crafts with an exciting array of stalls inside & outside one of the Brewery’s warehouses’ Spitalfields Town Talk every weekend.
Shoreditch Backyard Market offers a huge and different selection of art, fashion, beauty, homeware, and lifestyle goods! This is a perfect place to find a unique gift or just to browse with some friends or family.
Less than one minute walk away from the reputable Brick Lane Vintage Market and the Upmarket, you’ll find one of London’s best food halls – one of the seven Truman Markets.
A History Of The Backyard Market
Backyard Market is housed in the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane and has been a shopping location for arts and crafts lovers since it opened in 2006. Popular and famous among young creative types, its 80 stalls are a fantastic place to pick up handmade jewellery, homemade food, unique clothes by up-and-coming designers, bespoke gifts, and the unusual vintage gem.
Located in the hipster zone of Spitalfields, this area can provide hours of amazement for or a peek into Georgian and Victorian London at its most pristine, or a glimpse of what’s apt to be the next big global trend.
This Shoreditch Market is well-known for its warm community vibe and pretty friendly opening hours. It runs every Saturday from 11 am-6 pm and every Sunday from 10 am-5 pm, making it great for a potter after a trendy Shoreditch brunch.
Backyard Market is also right behind Spitalfields Market if you’re in the mood to shop till you drop. Another one of London’s amazing markets you need to add to your list.

As I mentioned, you can find everything from beautiful handmade jewellery to unique clothes and homemade foods here. This Shoreditch market is filled with cheeky photographers, jewelry craftspeople for pieces at all price points, record stalls, varied t-shirts, and vendors for chocolate, tea, and baked cakes. There are tons more, so make sure to put on your comfy shoes!
There is a variety of different stands offering lots of food, pictures, gifts, odd vintage trinkets, delicious Vegan Cakes, and even sugar-free chocolate (which is actually so delicious and guilt-free!).

All in all, Backyard Market seems to have something for everyone – making it ideal to hang out with your diverse groups of friends who are just visiting for a weekend.
