Brick Lane comes alive on Sundays when most London markets fold up their stalls for the weekend. Located along the East London street famous for its Bangladeshi restaurants, the market is a favourite amongst arts students, bargain hunters with an eye for the unexpected treasure, or the simply curious. With roots that go back to the 17th century, the modern market is centred on the Old Truman Brewery, which houses stalls selling antique furniture, clothing as well as a section with food stalls from around the world.
