The Spitalfields Society was founded in 1994. In 1994, Spitalfields Market was still trading in fruit, vegetables and flowers. Christ Church Spitalfields was in the process of being restored. And many of the Georgian terraces houses of Spitalfields were used as sweat shops for the local rag trade. Much has changed in our community since that time, but The Spitalfields Society objectives remain:
- to enhance the local environment and residential amenity of the Spitalfields community
- to listen to and represent the local community on matters with the relevant authorities
- to promote high standards in architectural and planning matters
- to preserve and improve features of historic or public interest
Our membership is drawn from the Spitalfields community, is open to all individuals, groups, businesses and those living, working or having an interest in the area of Spitalfields. We currently represent over 100 members on matters of interest to our community.
