Nearby St George's Day at Leadenhall Market

This year for St George's Day Leadenhall Market is hosting a week-long celebration of British Food running from 19th to 23rd April. Built on Roman ruins Leadenhall Market has a 600-year history of selling British produce - and is espeically well known for its 19th century poultry market - and that tradition continues today. Every day during the St George's Day celebrations a carvery will serve up a different meat supplemented by a wide choice of other foods including English fruits and wines. There will also be free entertainment at lunchtimes (12 noon to 3pm) with traditional English folk music on the Thursday evening. Celebrations come to a rousing end on the Friday - St George's Day itself - with military bands creating a carnival atmosphere in the market at lunchtime.About Leadenhall Market
