Leadenhall Market With Subsidiary Numbering

Leadenhall Market, built in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones, is a notable complex of roofed walkways featuring three detached sections to the south, lined with open-fronted shops. The external architecture is characterized by red brick and Portland stone in a thin, classical style. The interior is more robust, showcasing a row of giant Corinthian columns, which are apparently all made of cast iron, with elaboration at the octagonal crossing. The roof is a simple design made of timber and glass. The main elevation faces Gracechurch Street and includes a pair of ornamented four-storey pavilions topped with shaped gables and turrets. There is a wide entrance with windows above and a wide, shaped gable. Other entrances feature the City arms carved in a Portland stone pediment supported by a cast iron structure. A modern canopy of glass and iron covers the shops that stand in the open. The market also includes Nos 89 and 90 Gracechurch Street.
