NEW SPITALFIELDS MARKET
31 Acres
New Spitalfields Market was custom-designed for the fresh produce and flower business in the early 1990s and we can still boast trading facilities that rank as second to none.
Since relocating in 1991 from our old, much cherished but congested site, where traders worked through the night in tight spaces on public roadways, we have diversified the offer at our site in Leyton, East London, to reflect Britain’s consumers changing palates and preferences. That has enabled us to maintain our position at the very top of the UK wholesale market tree.
The location was selected for its excellent road, sea and airport access and New Spitalfields traders are still well placed to serve the whole of London, the Midlands, East Anglia and Kent. In fact, we have customers from all over the UK, as well as the continent.
Our independent retail and street market customers across the south east continue to thrive and the catering and foodservice sectors have experienced exceptional growth in recent times. Every one of us at New Spitalfields is fully committed to supporting them as they provide nutritious, healthy food and beautiful flowers for British consumers for many years to come.
NEW SPITALFIELDS MARKET
115 Traders
We’ve been buying and selling fruit, veg and flowers at New Spitalfields Market since 1991 and many of the companies in the market have family roots that spread far further back into the mists of time.
It’s often said in our industry that once you catch the wholesale market bug, it will never leave you and that’s why you’ll find fifth and sixth generation family firms in our market, trading fresh produce through the night with the same passion and expertise as their ancestors did in the old Spitalfields Market, or just down the road, in Stratford.
Their knowledge and experience is second to none and the strength of the market has been added to since it moved to Leyton by a plethora of businesses rooted in different ethnic backgrounds, who largely specialise in the African, Asian or Eastern European products most in demand within their own cultural communities.
It all makes for a great mix of cultures and the incredible array of products sold by our wholesale and foodservice traders every day is bought by them to meet the demand of any trade customer’s budget and underpins the businesses of street traders, independent greengrocers, secondary wholesalers, cafés, canteens and restaurants for miles around.
This is a great place to work too – whether you’re 16 or 75, there’s a job for you. Find out if you’re like us. Because this is what we do and we love it!
NEW SPITALFIELDS MARKET
Over 15,000 Products
You might be looking for soft citrus from Turkey or Soursop from Jamaica to stock your shelves. Or maybe your dish of the day needs ingredients such as Bangladeshi karela or Sri Lankan curry leaves. You could, of course, want to dip into the British season and buy from a full full range delicious apples, berries or vegetables from closer to home, to delight the customers who frequent your market stall.
Like us though, what you most definitely want to do is give your customers a fantastic range of fruit, veg and flowers, whether they intend to eat it at home or you’re cooking it for them. So, if that extra something you need to spice up your own product mix is in season somewhere in the world, there’s a very good chance it will be available today at New Spitalfields Market.
If it isn’t here today, there will be a trader on the market floor who can source it for you.
Come down and see us, but prepare to have your mind boggled!
NEW SPITALFIELDS MARKET
Over 100 Countries of Origin
An early-morning visit to vibrant New Spitalfields Market takes you on a colourful journey around the world of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers.
The wide-ranging nationalities of well over 100 trading companies in our iconic and multi-cultural market reflect not only the incredible diversity of the population in Leyton, E10, and the wider east end of London, but also the ways in which taste buds have evolved across London and the south east of England in recent times.
As the region’s cultural and ethical diversity has expanded, so has the need for specialist suppliers of a different mix of foods, from growers all around the globe.
Since our relocation to Leyton in the early 1990s, the depth and flavour of the New Spitalfields offer has been enriched by the presence of tenants specialising in exotic fruits and vegetables, as well as catering and food service firms serving public and private sector customers throughout the south east.
There is no more diverse market in the country and that contributes hugely to our ability to stay at the forefront of the trade we love and service the rapidly changing needs of the 21st century wholesale market customer base.
