Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Letter

Welcome to the first issue of Tea and Toast magazine. I am so excited to share this issue with you! In this issue you will find a mix of fashion and food, two of our favourite things here at Tea and Toast. This issue is based all around the theme of the weekend, with elements that will please each variety of weekenders; relaxed brunch recipes and sparkly fashion editorials for glamorous Saturday nights out. A guide to one our favourite locations, Old Spitalfields Market, giving you all the tips and information you will need for a trip. We have ventured into the biggest trends for Spring/Summer 2014, with a personal favourite in the form of pyjamas as stylish day wear which I particularly enjoyed styling. A special thank you goes to all who modelled, assisted, and generally helped in the collation of the issue, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it without any of you! Happy Reading!

Sunday Strolling Old Spitalfields Market 16 Horner Square Spitalfields London E1 6EW

Tea and Toastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide to Old Spitalfields Market, telling you the best places to eat, shop and explore! Located five minutes away for Liverpool Street station Old Spitalfields Market offers a refreshing juxtaposition to the towering buildings around the busiest spot in the city. It embodies the new and old elements of London, a well maintained market with modern restaurants but has all the charm of old London. It is also a very short walk for Brick lane, the vintage hub of the city allowing for a visit to show off all the elements of what London has to offer. Sunday mornings is the recommended time to visit as all the stalls and food markets are in full swing, however it provides a much calmer atmosphere on a weekday evening when visiting one of the restaurants. The market has a huge range of stalls selling mainly handmade and vintage 19

items, ranging from clothes and jewellery to leather bags. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little more food orientated there a huge range of food stalls, mainly sweet to compliment the many restaurants and permanent food fixtures. As well as the market there are a large variety of clothes shops such as Dr Martens, Jones and Jones, Traffic People and Barbour. A recent addition to the shopping experience is pop up shops, a recent pop up shop addition is the hugely successful Cambridge Satchel Company. For the more creative shoppers Lomography, One Deko, and Lollipop Shoppe which range from interior design to photography. Go for a little wander next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the area!
