Leadenhall Market – Dragons & Bulls

Leadenhall Market is a covered Victorian market tucked between Gracechurch Street and Leadenhall Street, in the heart of the City of London’s old financial and commercial district. Its current wrought‑iron and glass arcades, designed by City Architect Sir Horace Jones in the 1880s, sit on a site that has been used for trading since at least the 14th century and lies over part of Roman Londinium’s former forum and basilica. Once a major meat, poultry and game market serving medieval and early modern London, it is now home to boutiques, pubs, restaurants and cafés beneath richly painted roofs and cobbled walkways. Grade II‑listed and often used as a film location, it offers one of the most atmospheric historic streetscapes in the Square Mile.
