Leadenhall Market is tucked away between Leadenhall Street, Gracechurch Street and Lime Street, EC3V 1LT. With wheel chair accessibility to all public areas of the market. Core trading hours are Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm.

The market dates back to the 14th century. It is open weekdays from 7am until late, and primarily sells fresh food; among the vendors there are cheesemongers, butchers and florists. 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 and a pen shop.

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.

Nearest tubes are Bank, Monument and Liverpool Street. Fenchurch Street & Cannon Street train stations are nearby. Plus there are numerous bus stops and a few Barclays cycle hire stands in close proximity.
