13 Princelet Street is typical of the speculative housing that sprang up in Spitalfields in the 18th century. The whole city had been in the throes of a massive reconstruction campaign since the Great Fire of London in 1666 and this gave rise to a new breed of speculative builders, developing sites and buildings purely for profit. Spitalfields, named after a 12th-century hospital, lay outside the City walls and from the Middle Ages had attracted enterprising outsiders, whose birth or origin barred them from trading or living in the City.
Pre-booking via Eventbrite is preferred. Tickets are timed to improve visitor experience. You do not need to print your tickets in advance.
Making a donation as part of your visit
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to visit a Landmark for free as part of our Open Day programme, and as such we’re pleased to continue to offer free entry at all our Open Days in 2025.
The Landmark Trust is a building conservation charity that relies on donations to support its work. Over the past 60 years, public support has helped us rescue over 200 historic buildings and make them available for all to experience and enjoy. Your support by attending our events, booking a workshop, and making a donation allows us to continue to save buildings at risk and continue to maintain those already in our care. Your donation could help train the craftspeople needed to restore a future Landmark, offer opportunities for young people to experience history first-hand, or provide a charity with free Landmark stay for their service users through our 50 for Free scheme.
Donations can be made when you book your Eventbrite ticket, at the event via contactless donation points, or after your visit via our website under Support.
Open Day entry
Due to the historic nature of our buildings we have a limited capacity for our Open Day events. You may therefore be asked to wait a short time while other visitors finish their visit. Whilst booking is not essential, priority will be given to those who have booked in advance. Thank you for your co-operation.
Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted at this Landmark open day.
Getting there
Please note that there is no parking at this property. The the closest tube and train station is Liverpool Street, approximately 700m from the house.
Accessibility
We strongly encourage all visitors to come by public transport, however for visitors for whom public transport is not possible, the nearest car park is located on Brick Lane, 100m away.
13 Princelet Street is a historic house that does not have a lift. Stairs and narrow doorways unfortunately make the building not suitable for wheelchair users.
We do all we can to enable access wherever possible; for further information or if you have any access concerns that you’d like to discuss before visiting, please contact our Booking Enquiries team on 01628 825925 or [email protected]. The Booking Office is open Mon to Fri - 9am to 5pm.
