SMITHFIELD or, to give it its official name, London Central Markets, is the largest wholesale meat market in the UK and one of the largest of its kind in Europe.
Located within the Square Mile of the City of London it is housed in three listed buildings. It is a place packed with history – there has been a livestock market on the site for over 800 years – and yet is as modern as tomorrow with its state of the art facilities for the receiving, storing and despatching of meat and poultry.
