Leadenhall Market - Prices, opening hours, news, events and exhibitions
About the Leadenhall Market
A richly decorated former meat/poultry market that's been on this site for over 700 years.
The current building is Victorian and a classic of the style, and while the market has left, the shops are now filled with cafes, food, drink and up-market retailers.
The market streets are open all the time to wander around, although naturally, the shops are open normal hours.
IMPORTANT - Although venues are reopening, their hours may differ from normal, and most now need prebooking before you visit.
Unfortunately, there seems to be nothing special happening today. Sorry about that!
