This paper examines London’s street markets as overlooked sites of consumer modernity, ‘complex interiors’ that were contested and contradictory spaces within the city. It asks whether the street markets can be seen as ‘architecture’, arguing that, despite their outdoor locations, shifting form, and lack of built infrastructure, the street markets achieved a sense of enclosure and interiority through the particular qualities of their lights, sounds and their crowded occupation of space. The street markets produced complexity as a result of their informality, as a-legal and organic outbreaks of micro-entrepreneurship. The paper covers the 1850–1939 period and examines the specific example of Chrisp Street market in Poplar. In the post-war period, this was formalised as Lansbury Market and relocated into a planned market square. It thus usefully casts light back on the earlier period, as an example of what happened when street markets moved from informal to planned status.

伦敦街头市场：非正式建筑的内部变化

本文将伦敦的街头市场视为被忽视的消费者现代性场所、“复杂的室内设计”，它们在城市中存在争议和矛盾的空间。它询问街市是否可以被视为“建筑”，认为尽管街市位于户外、形式不断变化且缺乏建筑基础设施，但街市通过其灯光、声音的特殊品质实现了一种封闭感和内部感以及他们拥挤的空间。街头市场因其非正式性而产生了复杂性，作为微型创业的合法和有机爆发。这篇论文涵盖了 1850 年至 1939 年期间，并考察了白杨树克里斯普街市场的具体例子。在战后时期，这里被正式确定为兰斯伯里市场，并搬迁到一个计划中的市场广场。
