Did you know

The market stands on what was the centre of Roman London, and its ornate roof was designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones, the architect behind Billingsgate and Smithfield markets.

Local tip

Visit on a weekday lunchtime for a lively market with shops and bars open. Most retail units close on weekends, though the covered arcade itself stays accessible around the clock.
