‘Queer Gear’
In the twenty years since New Spitalfields moved to its new site in the East End of London, the market has changed beyond recognition. People from all over the world come to London looking for a better life, and many find work selling fruit and veg in New Spitalfields. The market prides itself on selling every kind of fruit and veg under the sun. As one trader comments: ‘It used to be called queer gear, but now it’s just everyday produce’.
