From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Spitalfields Market is located in a 31 acre (125,000 m²) site in Leyton, 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 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.
The market had previously been more centrally located at Spitalfields Market just east of the City of London.
