Borough Market
The 1,000-year history of Borough Market, from its beginnings in the 11th century to its rebirth in the 21st It is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London, with a market on the site dating back to at least the 12th century. One of the most famous places to visit in London, especially if you love to eat, is Borough Market. The market was established in 1885, and it's one of the most renowned markets in London for artisan prepared food, and fresh organic produce. For 1,000 years it has stood at the foot of London Bridge, serving the people of Southwark. After the construction of the first medieval bridge, probably in the mid-990s, the road we now know as Borough High Street acted as a vital artery joining London—a walled metropolis on the north side of the river—to the ports and towns of the south, making it a magnet for farmers, bakers, brewers and fishermen hoping to sell their wares to travellers.
Leadenhall Market
From the Roman Basilica to Diagon Alley, discover the rich heritage of Leadenhall Market. Leadenhall Market dates back to the 14th century and is situated in what was the centre of Roman London. Originally a meat, poultry and game market, it is now home to a number of boutique retailers, restaurants, and an award-winning pub. Starting as the site of a manor, Leadenhall has survived changes in use, rebuilding, and even the Great Fire to become a popular destination for city residents, visitors and workers. Built on the site of a Roman Basilica (Courts) and Forum (Market), Leadenhall was the largest market north of the Alps and occupied an area bigger than that of Trafalgar Square. Leadenhall Market offers a spectacular Victorian setting with the roof, cobbles and buildings preserved. By the mid-20th century the shops are also being used for general retailing and leisure and by the end of the century Leadenhall Market has evolved into one of the City’s five principal shopping centres.
