Behind the scenes

In the real world, there are two Spitalfields markets in London: the Old Spitalfields Market and the New Spitalfields Market. The stories almost never specify which of the two is meant. However, it is the Old Spitalfields Market that is near Shoreditch, where Tanya lived. Additionally, the New Spitalfields Market is supposed to sell fruit and vegetables rather than jewellery.
