Leadenhall Market

Leadenhall Market has been situated here from as far back as the 14th century. The original Leadenhall Market building was a hall with a leaden roof (hence the name) and was a major market for meat, game, poultry and fish. Much of the original Leadenhall Market was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The present wrought iron and glass-roofed buildings were designed by Horace Jones in 1881. Leadenhall Market is located at the back of the Lloyd's Building just south of Leadenhall Street.
