Chrisp Street Market was the first purpose-built pedestrian shopping area in the UK. It is located in Poplar in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and forms part of the eastern edge of the Lansbury Estate. It features a prominent clock tower, shops, small retail outlets, cafes, market stalls and apartments. There are 80 market stalls. ==History== Chrisp Street Market was designed by Frederick Gibberd, and built as part of the Festival of Britain in 1951. Since 1997 it has been in a conservation area. In the 1990s, the London Docklands Development Corporation contributed £1.3 million to refurbishment of the market area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lddc-history.org.uk/iod/index.html#Shopping )〕 In the early 2000s Chrisp St Library was closed and replaced with a larger 'Idea Store' designed by David Adjaye, a place for lifelong learning with computers and rooms for community use. The Tower Hamlets London Borough Council transferred ownership of the shopping arcades along with the rest of the Lansbury Estate to Poplar HARCA, a locally based housing association, in 2006. This association commissioned architects to draw up a master plan for the market.〔 including Chrisp Street Market at pages 13-14.
