Story

In the heart of Leadenhall Market lies a secret. Topple down the stairs and into Old Tom´s and you´ll discover it preserved through décor from ages gone by.
With wall tiles dating back to the 19th Century, the bar sets an atmospheric tone for you to meet, greet and enjoy our top quality food, drink and attentive service.

Old Tom himself, a gander full of personality, frequented the market in the early 1800´s and remains one of the most famous characters from Leadenhall´s past. His fate was originally to be slaughtered along with thousands of other geese who had been sent here. However he escaped death and became a much loved character for traders and customers, and was fed at all the local inns. Known to the traders as ´Old Tom´ he eventually died at the age of 37 and lay in state before being buried here.
