Leadenhall Market - a photo on Flickriver

Leadenhall Market

            The market was pretty much deserted….apart from the 30 odd photographers behind me!  Ledenhall Market primarily sells fresh food and among the vendors there are cheese mongers, butchers and florists, it’s open weekdays from 7am until late. Originally a meat, game and poultry market it stands on what was the centre of Roman London. A number of commercial retailers are also located in the market, including clothes shops, a public house, (pub) and if you look closely a pen shop! It is popular among  local city workers.

The ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream, and cobbled  floors of the current structure, designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones (who was also the architect of Billingsgate and Smithfield Markets), make the 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 adjacent buildings to the south have a continuous retail frontage which is punctuated by narrow entrances to pedestrian ways into the market. From 1990 to 1991 the market received a dramatic redecoration which transformed its appearance, enhancing its architectural character and detail. 

It was used to represent the area of London near The Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In 2012 it formed part of the marathon course of the 2012 Olympic Games. Runners passed through the market three times from Whittington Avenue to Lime Street.
