Chrisp Street Market was designed and built as part of the Festival of Britain in 1951. It is located in Poplar, London, and forms part of the western perimeter 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 with Chinese and Indian food outlets.
