Om
Hurtige fakta: Bygningens fantastiske buede glas- og jerntag rager 24 meter op og skaber en katedrallignende shoppinghal, der oversvømmes af skiftende mønstre af naturligt lys. I dag finder du over 30 uafhængige handlende, der sælger alt fra vinylplader og vintage tøj til specialkaffe og håndlavet kunsthåndværk.
Højdepunkter: Arkitekt Cuthbert Brodrick designede den ovale grundplan, så hver eneste bod kunne ses fra det centrale udsigtspunkt, en radikal idé for et 1800-tals marked. Kig op, og du vil lægge mærke til, at tagribbene breder sig ud som skeletet af en kæmpehval, uden nogen centrale søjler, der blokerer dit udsyn til hele rummet.
Insidertips
- Head to the upper balcony for the best photo of the full oval interior and roof structure.
- Visit on the first weekend of the month for the Antiques and Vintage Fair with extra specialist stalls.
- Grab a coffee from one of the independent cafes and sit on the central benches to people-watch under the dome.
- Check the event schedule online before visiting, as the space hosts regular pop-up markets and live music.
