East Ham Market Hall

Superb undercover market situated at the heart of East Ham. Over 80 stalls and established for over 90 years offers an excellent array of bargains from bikes to bedding. Bought lots of clothes from here and is a hidden GEM!

Wow how this place has changed a lot, I used to get my computer games here when I was a kid, I loved walking around the market looking at the mirrors that made you look funny and eating in the little café.
None of the same shops are here anymore it seems to only cater for the locals now, Eastham has changed so much over the last ten years and the markets just has busy great place to get forign foods and cheap goods.
Not really my cup of tea now but things have to change and it seems to be doing well, give it a try.

This is a very old and traditional market hall based in East Ham. Its a surreal mix of traditional East end businesses and stalls run by various immigrants. The stalls are all under cover and range from Delis to shops selling silk saris alongside African grocers. An interesting mix of shops due a rich tradition of immigrants from Poles to West Africans to the local area.
I’ve been shopping here for years as they have such a lovely garden centre where I purchase all my vegetable plants for the garden every spring. There are a café for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of shopping.

East Ham Market Black Afro Caribbean Hair Salon (s)
As known by Afro-​Caribbean women getting your hair done at the hair dressers isn’t cheap hence the reason most people get those who know how to do hair as friends or family to do it either for free or you may pay them a little something because after all they did take the time to do your hair so. But either way you’re not paying an arm and an leg in order to get your hair done. Although sometimes the people you want to do your hair aren’t always available to give you that time to do your hair so you find yourself in a rut and may have to take the drastic root of going to the hairdressers!!! Something I had to do a little while ago but fear not prices aren’t as bad as one would think. East ham market have two hairdressers both very nice both very friendly last I checked there was a difference in price so it’s up to you to find the salon best priced for you I’ve seen the work they’ve both done and they do professional jobs the average price is £70 they would not charge you £70 the price range would be from £40 –65 depending on what you want that’s the average cost of braids. Cornrow would be around £15−35 pounds depending on if you want extension Cornrow, natural cornrow of course if you can by all means get a friend or relative to do it but if you do go to the hairdressers you can now save yourself at least an arm rather then sacrificing both your arm and leg.
Trust me both these salons do stand out.
