Leadenhall Market (10)

Gracechurch St, London EC3V 1LT

Sir Horace Jones (1881)

It is one of the oldest markets in London, dating from the 14th century, and is located in the
historic centre of the City of London financial district.
Leadenhall Market is a restored Victorian covered market that sells traditional game, poultry,
fish and meat. Although there has been a forum (market place) on where Leadenhall Market
stands today since the first century AD, the current wrought iron and glass building was
designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones (architect of Old Billingsgate and Smithfield Markets).
The ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream, and cobbled floors of the
current structure, who make the Leadenhall Market a tourist attraction.
The main entrance to the market is on Gracechurch Street. The double height entrance is
flanked by tall, narrow gabled red brick and portland stone blocks in a C17 Dutch style. The
front of the building is located on the south side of the street.
Between 1990 and 1991 the market received a dramatic redecoration. The redecoration
scheme received a special mention in the Civic Trust Awards in 1994. The market is a Grade
II * listed building, being listed in 1972.
