Backyard Market

Backyard market and London Artisian is awesome! Period!
Big huge indoor venue, lots of food and shops to choose from, and super classy area, with lot of trendy things!
You can easily spend a good half day there!
Will let my photos speak for itself!

The Backyard Market is one of those places you probably walk past all the times and never go in, all the little stores have lots of gems in them.
There’s always a unique t-​shirt or badge or hat that you can’t get off eBay or from a random Chinese shop on the internet.
The prices will always be a little bit higher than an Primani or eBay bargain, but most of the time you are paying the person directly to make more.
And of course there’s all the food you’d expect to buy on Brick Lane to eat whilst walking round.

Another one of the fabulous weekend markets on/​off of Brick Lane.
I’ve never been to this spot on it’s own – it’s always been as a part of a more substantial Sunday market bender, coupled with the larger Brick Lane Market and the Upmarket at the Truman Brewery (both also worth visiting).
I have a particular fondness for the Backyard Market, in particular, as it always seems to be less packed than other Sunday markets. Also, because they have a unique selection of odd and wonderful stalls that never fails to make me laugh (or part with a bunch of money).
Most importantly, this place seems to have something for everyone – making it perfect for bringing diverse groups of friends who are just visiting for a weekend. This market is filled with cheeky photographers, jewelry craftspeople for pieces all price points, record stalls, all sorts of t-​shirts, vendors for chocolate, tea and baked goods. Plus there’s tons more!
If you’re feeling like something a bit more substantial to eat, there are tons of options right out front of this market (and, obviously, all up and down brick lane on a Sunday).
All in all, check this place out.
It’s a lot of fun and well worth a visit/​diversion from your average Brick Lane Sunday.

Great place to spend a Sunday. Lots of unusual vintage trinkets and delicious Vegan Cakes and even sugar free chocolate (which is actually so delicious and guilt free!). There is a variety of different stands offering clothes, food, pictures, gifts and services. We wondered here after a trip to Caladionan Road flower market and walk around Shoreditch, Bring plenty of cash though as cash points are few and far between!

I recently bought a bling collar from a stall at backyard market. I also recently felt like a Kanye west douchebag, as recently as the last sentence I just wrote.
I always loved this market on sundays– just because it’s always a bit quieter than the upmarket and the stalls are a bit more bling-​y, like bling phone cases, and bling necklaces, interspersed with some good old vintage glasses and hand drawn artwork. ALSO there’s a good few food stands outside too!
The collar I even haggled for and damn, i got tonnes of compliments– so it shows that you don’t need to pay crazy prices for UNIQUE statement jewellery.

I love this place. I’m writing this review wearing my really hot new ring that I bought from one of the rocking jewellery stalls in Backyard Market this Saturday afternoon. Its set back off of Bricklane, so is quieter than you would expect, but that means you get a much better view of all the goods on display, without having to fight and elbow your way to the front. The big space means that there is room for the market to grow. They could cram in so many more stalls and hundreds of customers should they need or want to in the not too distant future when the rest of London gets to know and love this place just like I do now.
The market is split up into two parts, vintage and second hand shops on your left and the more typical market stalls selling modern jewellery, clothes, vinyl etc straight in front. Both parts of the market are amazing, with a big variety of different things to suit everyones tastes. Its friendly, relaxed, and far from the over priced crap you often find in trendy east London locations. I wish I could have bought about 10 different things, but Natwest bank thought otherwise as I am a little down and out this month, but I’m going back to treat myself soon.
Only bad point was the slightly missleading sign for «Ms Cupcakes» that was by the enterance to the vintage section. Yes there was a very cute little café area with miss-​match tables and chairs selling teas and coffess, but not a cupcake in sight. Sigh. I really fancied a cupcake. Still do actually.

This market happens on Sundays and is located across the street from the Upmarket’s Truman Brewery Building. Less visited and thus with less of a buzzing atmosphere, the Backyard nonetheless hosts a number of excellent stalls that have spilt over from its big sister market over Brick Lane.
My favourite stall is the man selling vinyl at the back on the left. Unfailingly chatty and friendly, this chap — I’ve forgotten his name, unfortunately, despite numerous vigourous introductions — also seems to hold an unending supply of musical knowledge and case upon case of little 45s to back it up. He’s cheap too, and open to the odd well-​meaning haggle.
Aside from that, there’s Russian food, a soul music stall, picture frame designers and lots of other independent creative things happening. The stalls seem to grow in number each week, and often change. My only gripe would be that the high ceilings in the ‘Backyard’ coupled with the relative lack of stalls give it a bit of an empty feeling.
