Smithfield Market first opened in 1875 and is part of London heritage now. This classic market is buzzing like a bee because full crowded from open to close with some of the finest meat, poultry and seafood in London. Its also known as the UK's largest wholesale meat market supplying everything from Beef, lamb, chicken, cheese, free range, halal, organic to cheeses and seafood.
Good market, we were there at 5am and it did not yet look like sellers were closing up. The selection disappointed me a bit. There was a stall with dry aged beef and beef in general had ample representation. Pork seemed to be a bit less well represented. Various non-traditional parts are still not as easy to find - e.g I could only find one place with pork knuckles they only sold them in batches of 3 too. Overall many stalls have very comparable selection, it’s not like every stall has their own specialization or something. Birds are represented poorly in my opinion. There was some chicken as well as small whole birds but I could not find any duck at all. Prices were mostly reasonable - beef fillet was a bit on the high end but still of course much cheaper than in a butcher’s. You can pay with a card
Unfortunately an awful experience from the stall "ABSALOM & TRIBE LTD". Bought some ribs sealed in a food vacuum bag, to find out later the same day these were already gone bad.

Smithfield Market, a Grade II listed-covered market building, was designed by Victorian architect Sir Horace Jones in the second half of the 19th century, and is the dominant architectural feature of the area.
There is so much history in this place and I can't get bored of taking photos of its interesting architecture. I pass through this space periodically and each time I find something 'new' catching my eye.
This place is so full of history, you can feel it as you walk around and read all of the amazing history on the walls. Stories of the people who worked there from war times to present day. This area of london has such a rich and deep history that it’s a place you have to visit just to say you’ve been. The area looks like it’s suffering from the economy as quite a few bars and other businesses close their doors. It just to walk through the market is a real treat. Today I walked around the surrounding area and my goodness this part of town was really distasteful and dangerous back in the days history of hangings, places where you could sell your wife at the meat market if you could not get divorced, wow how crazy is that? William Wallace was dragged behind a horse to his death from the Tower of London to Smithfield. I’m sure you can do research yourself because I can not do it justice because everything I learned was from my visit today. I added some images of those stories in my photographs. Enjoy your visit even if it’s to see the amazing buildings steeped in history.
It’s very disappointing to read all this ridiculous people review about the Smithfield market hundred and 2 hundred years rich history who asked you about that? It’s totally nonsense this is meat market and I pop in to see review about the meat quality and how is the pichagna I’m thinking to go and buy pichagna but no one is talking about the meat quality
My Smithfield's Christmas nite trip tradition is back alive again I get such a kick to travel in the middle of the night and go down there to. compete with the other carnivore for the best fresh and awesome piece of meat ever over Christmas As always it was amazing, and easier as on the weekend there's 24hour trains. I got off from St. Paul's, walked up to Barbican that was just 5 mins up right after the Museum or London. It was awesome, easily got 15kg of meat. Absolutely awesome fresh and totally worth the trip. Thank you my long love Christmas tradition enabler Smithfield meat Market and Merry Christmas you all hard working butchers totally worth it
What a cool unexpected relic of the past. I’m glad they document it here so you can stroll by and understand the history you’re witnessing. I know nothing stays the same forever but time stands still when you’re here. A cool part of Londons history
