If you need to buy fruit and veg in large quantities this is the place to go. In general it seems to be fresher and of a higher quality than what you will tend to find on the high street - it lasts longer at home and much of it is larger than you normally see.
Unlike Smithfield and Billingsgate, New Spitalfields does not cater for retail buyers, but you do not need to be a trade customer to buy fruit and veg here. Whilst some stallholders sell produce by the palette, many of them sell it by the box or sack, so if you are happy buying 70 apples or 90 lemons you'll be OK.
It is a very busy commercial market shifting industrial quantities of produce. There are scores of forklift trucks constantly moving around inside the market so you need to be alert to the dangers they pose, stick to the clearly marked walkways, look carefully at every junction and ideally wear hi-viz clothing.
If driving to the market be aware that there can be a traffic jam outside around midnight as shop-owners queue up at the traffic lights to enter the site and park on the pavement and median divider. If you visit closer to closing time things are far less frantic.

The big supermarket with all the things that the shop keeper needs. Fruits, vegetables, watercress big range and many more... It's really worth it to anyone who has a restaurant business.

Every single evening without fail the surrounding footpaths and cycle paths are blocked by vans and lorries waiting to access the site.
Something should really be done by the site operators to manage this issue.
This is an accident waiting to happen.

Love the quality fruits - just be warned that drive slowly at the entrance, the speed ramp is badly designed!!
