Dating back to the 14th century, Leadenhall Market was initially a meat, poultry and game market, although it is now home to numerous boutique retailers, swanky wine bars, restaurants and an award-winning pub. During the Middle Ages the site was owned by the Neville family, whose mansion house boasted a roof of lead, hence the name 'Leadenhall'. The current ornate roof structure, painted in a mix of green, maroon and cream, was designed by London architect Horace Jones in 1881 and is now Grade II listed.
