East End

Making the Most of Your Time

To experience the East End at its most lively, make sure you visit on the weekend, when it's possible to shop, eat, drink, and party your way through a whole 72 hours. Spitalfields Market bustles all weekend, while Brick Lane is at its best on a Sunday morning—also the time to visit Columbia Road for its glorious flower market. If you're planning to explore the East End art scene, pick up a free art map at the Whitechapel Art Gallery. As far as booming nightlife scene here, there's no time limit.
