When Lord Mayor Michel Bear and the Lady Mayoress visited Smithfield Market in June they were welcomed by the Master of the Worshipful Company of Butchers, HRH the Princess Royal. A tour through the Market was led by the Chairman of the Tenants’ Association, Greg Lawrence.
The Lord Mayor saw how the Market operates and the touring party stopped to chat to stallholders.
During the tour, the Lord Mayor and the Master were given a presentation of meat and poultry by the Smithfield Market Tenants’ Association

Closure of Poultry Market
As part of an agreement with our landlords, the City of London, to relocate the Market to Barking and Dagenham, the traders left the Poultry Market building at the end of August this year. The building will become part of the new Museum of London. Smithfield Market contimues to trade from the two remaining Victorian buildings and will continue to do so until at least 2028.
