Chrisp Street Market
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chrisp Street Market was designed by Frederick Gibberd, and built as part of the Festival of Britain in 1951. It is located in Poplar in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and forms part of the Eastern edge of the Lansbury Estate.
It was the first purpose-built pedestrian shopping area in the UK. It features a prominent clock tower, shops, small retail outlets, cafes and market stalls. East End of London favourites such as pie and mash are available alongside Chinese and Indian food outlets.
It is served by All Saints DLR station.
