What you’ll find
Dating back to the 14th century, Leadenhall Market is one of London’s oldest and most architecturally impressive landmarks. With its striking glass roof, painted wrought iron and cobbled walkways, it’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is a place to shop and dine.
Once a traditional meat and poultry market, it’s now home to a mix of high-end boutiques, wine merchants, gift shops and bars. There’s a strong food offering too grab a coffee, settle in for a relaxed lunch, or meet friends after work for dinner and drinks in a setting like no other.
It’s particularly magical outside peak hours, when the arcades fall quiet and the historic details shine through. Rain or shine, it’s a London gem worth exploring.
One-liner
A stunning slice of London history shopping, dining and architecture all in one.
Native’s tip
Look up! The market’s roof is one of the most photographed in the city and with good reason.
