Spitalfields property market: common questions

Where is Spitalfields?

Spitalfields sits in north-east London, mostly in Tower Hamlets, about 2 miles from the centre. Figures for Spitalfields cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Spitalfields?

The median asking price across the 556 homes for sale in Spitalfields is £657,500 (as of 20 August 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £493,750 and £910,000. That is 20% above London. Homes that actually sold in Spitalfields went for a median £565,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

Are house prices being cut in Spitalfields?

62 listings in Spitalfields had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 11% of the homes currently for sale.

How long are homes on the market in Spitalfields?

Of the Spitalfields listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 90 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

How much do flats and houses cost in Spitalfields?

The median asking price for a flat in Spitalfields is £650,000; for a house it is £950,000. Use the property type and bedroom filters on this page for a finer cut.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (556 in Spitalfields), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Spitalfields cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Spitalfields since August 2025.
  • London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
