Leadenhall Market in London was designed in its current form by Sir Horace Jones in 1881. The article names no client. The infobox gives the 14th century as the opening date, and the text agrees the market dates from then, but it also credits Mayor Simon Eyre with building Leaden Hall in 1446, which does not match.
The article describes an ornate market with a main entrance in a 17th-century Dutch style. It uses red brick, Portland stone and cobbled floors, and the roof is painted green, maroon and cream. It gives no dimensions.
It was listed Grade II* in 1972 and redecorated in 1990 and 1991. It was part of the 2012 Olympic marathon course. It is a covered market selling mainly fresh food, with butchers, cheesemongers, florists, clothing shops and the Lamb Tavern. It is typically open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
