Spitalfields is an area in Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London, near to Liverpool Street station and Brick Lane. Its name is a contraction of 'hospital fields', in reference to "The Priory of Canons, and Hospital for poor brethren, of the Order of St Austin", founded in 1197 (later refounded as The New Hospital of our Lady without Bishopgate).
