Brick Lane

Brick Lane is East London's most famous street — Bangladeshi curry houses at the southern end, vintage shops and street art further north, and one of London's best Sunday markets.

Curry Houses

The southern stretch remains dense with Bangladeshi-run curry restaurants — quality varies considerably, so it's worth checking recent reviews rather than choosing based on the tout offering the biggest discount outside.

Sunday Upmarket

Inside the Old Truman Brewery, the Sunday Upmarket combines independent food, fashion and craft stalls — one of East London's best weekend destinations.

Street Art

The surrounding streets have London's densest concentration of street art, constantly changing.

Getting There

Shoreditch High Street (Overground) or Aldgate East (District and Hammersmith & City lines).

Tips

• Sunday brings the full experience together — market, curry houses and street art.
• Check recent reviews before choosing a curry house — quality varies significantly.
