Smithfield Market

Smithfield Market or London Central Markets, as its known officially, is a historic weekday market in a pair of listed buildings in The City. It's one of the largest wholesale meat markets in Europe, but anyone can buy produce here. As is to be expected, the butchers at Smithfield Market offer a wide and varied assortment of meaty goods, though you'll want to make your way here very early in the morning to get the best cuts. Occasional tours of the market, whose roots go back more than 800 years, are available as well.
