Broadway Market is a bustling saturday market just off Mare St and London Fields. Food, art, craft and vintage is what you should expect to find.
OUR PATTERNED HAND is a fabric and haberdashery with workspace and tuition. They sell up and coming textile designers materials. They are funky limited addition prints so not your avergae calico store!!
Onmy first visit to the shop I was talking to the woman who owns the store asking about the fabrics and she introduced me to one of the designers who sold her fabric there. She had studied textiles not that long ago at Brighton.
FABRICATIONS is a collective working with artists from the area. They sell projects and knit things created by the artists and promote their work.
The market stalls are filled with old music, vintage fashion and plenty of yummy around the world foods. Saturdays because of the market make the street incredibly hectic busy with young trendy people who sit around outside the numorous cafes and pubs filling the street with laughter.
Next to the market is London Fields. The canal is at the other end leading away from the market and giving a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle.
