New Spitalfields Market

New Spitalfields Market

New Spitalfields Market is located in a 31 acres (125,453 m2) site in Leyton, London Borough of Waltham Forest in east London which opened in 1991. It is Europe's leading horticultural market specialising in exotic fruit and vegetables.

The market hall houses 115 trading units for wholesalers dealing in fruit, vegetables and flowers. Modern facilities in the market hall include cold storage rooms, ripening rooms and racking for palletised produce. The site has extensive parking facilities for customers, delivery vehicles and market personnel.

There are four separate buildings providing modern self-contained units for catering supply companies. Over 900 square metres (9,688 sq ft) of office space is also provided, and there are five ancillary accommodation units with cafes, toilets and maintenance facilities. The services of a diesel/propane supplier, specialist pallet services and fork lift truck maintenance companies are also available. Security for the market is provided by the Market Constabulary.[1]

The market had previously been more centrally located at Spitalfields Market just east of the City of London.

The Old River Lea runs on the western edge of the site.
