Turn past the smoky food stalls and the cavernous Tea Rooms to find the hidden-in-plain-sight Backyard Market. Stalls selling clothes, jewellery and unique prints snake around this large section of brick warehouse, part of the Old Truman Brewery complex. It's generally less crowded and chaotic than Brick Lane's other weekend markets.
