Truman Market

The Sunday UpMarket, one of the five markets comprising the Truman Markets.

The Truman Markets, more commonly known by the colloquialism Brick Lane Market, is a London marketplace centered around Brick Lane, Tower Hamlets. It inhabits in the historic 11-acre venue Old Truman Brewery.[1] It is located at the northern end of Brick Lane and along Cheshire Street in the heart of East London's Bangladeshi community.

The Truman Markets are composed of five markets: the Boiler House Food Hall, the Tea Rooms, the Backyard Market, the Sunday UpMarket, and the Vintage Market.[2] The Boiler House Food Hall, open every Sunday from 11am to 6pm, is located in the Old Truman Brewery's Boiler House and houses a diverse selection of food stalls ranging from Japanese and Mexican to Peruvian and Carribean-Asian fusion in its 7,700 square feet of space. The Tea Rooms, open Saturdays from 11am to 6pm and Sundays from 10am to 5pm, is a market named for its large selection of teas and coffees as well as antiques, silk cushions, and traditional baked goods. The Sunday UpMarket, open every Sunday 10am from to 5pm, is housed in the Old Truman Brewery's Ely's Yard (just off Hanbury Street), an old service yard and one of East London's busiest roadways. Ely's Yard also hosts many events and holds other shops, bars, restaurants, and artwork by the prominent street artists Banksy and D*Face.[3] The Backyard Market, operating by the same hours as the Tea Rooms, is located in the Brewery's U Block, on the east side of the Brewery's estate.[3] Lastly, the Vintage Market is open not only on Sunday from 10am to 5pm, but also both Fridays and Saturdays from 11am to 6pm.

The Truman Markets are located in close proximity to several other landmarks, including the Old Truman Brewery and Old Spitalfields Market. The closest London Underground stations are Aldgate East and Liverpool Street. The London Overground Shoreditch High Street station is also within walking distance.[4]
