Leadenhall Market is a beautifully restored Victorian market located in the heart of London's financial district, the City of London. Its history can be traced back to the 14th century when a market was first established on the site. Over the centuries, the market has undergone several transformations and renovations, but it has always been a hub of commercial activity.
In the 19th century, the market was rebuilt and redesigned by Sir Horace Jones, the architect responsible for many of London's iconic buildings, including Tower Bridge. The stunning wrought-iron and glass roof that still covers the market today was added during this renovation.
Since then, Leadenhall Market has been a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, with its unique blend of traditional and modern shops, restaurants and bars. It has also been featured in many films, including the Harry Potter series, where it was transformed into the magical Diagon Alley.
Today, Leadenhall Market is a thriving commercial hub and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, food and drink.
