Day 4: Markets, Street Art & East London Cool
Your final day in London dives into its creative pulse — through food, art, fashion, and alternative culture. Wander historic markets, spot edgy murals, and finish with cocktails overlooking the city skyline. It's a little boho, a little industrial chic, and totally unforgettable.
Morning: Brick Lane & Spitalfields Market
1. Old Spitalfields Market
A vibrant covered market blending indie designers, vintage stalls, artisan foods, and boutique pop-ups. Great for gifts and fashion finds.
2. Brick Lane
Just a 5-minute walk away, this legendary East End street is known for its street art, vintage shops, and global eats — especially its famous curry houses and bagel bakeries.
🍽️ Lunch: Street Food at Boxpark Shoreditch
This repurposed shipping container space is home to some of East London's best bites. Choose your own mini feast from independent food traders — all with a cool urban vibe.
Afternoon: Explore Shoreditch & Hackney Wick
