Ch_ch_spitalfields.400px.jpg

Spitalfields, an area in Tower Hamlets, east London near to Liverpool Street station and Brick Lane which gets its name from a contraction of 'hospital fields', as there used to be a major hospital in the area. The area is home to the historic Spitalfields Market. The market, which receives 20,000 vistors every Sunday, was founded here in the 17th century.
