Smithfield Market

Smithfield Market, located in central London, is a historic livestock market where farmers and merchants buy and sell fresh meat, especially livestock like cattle, pigs, and sheep. Established in the 19th century, it operates as a hub for the distribution of quality meat to London's restaurants, butchers, and supermarkets. The market is known for its Victorian architecture and has been a key part of London's food supply chain for over a century. Today, while some functions have modernized, it remains an important center for wholesale meat trade, blending tradition with contemporary logistics.
