Smithfield Market

Smithfield Market is one of the oldest markets in London, dating back to the 12th century. This historic wholesale meat and poultry market impresses with its unique architecture with its distinctive East and West Market wings, designed by Sir Horace Jones.

As you stroll down Grand Avenue, you can admire the elliptical arches and cast-iron decorations, as well as four impressive statues symbolizing London, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Dublin.

An interesting feature is the underground cold storage rooms, which were used during World War II to store meat, saving transportation space.
