Since the 1300s, the site has been home to a poultry market. In the early 1800s, a small goose that was smarter than the others managed to outwit death several times.
So the merchants decided to let the bird live among them in the market and named him Old Tom. When he died in 1835, the goose was duly buried and also given an obituary insert. Buried within the market itself, his grave is on the site of Old Tom’s Bar.
Designed in 1881 by architect Sir Horace Jones, Leadenhall Market remains a magnificent example of Victorian architecture, with its glass and wrought iron structure, cobbled streets, shop fronts and magnificent roof.
Entirely covered, Leadenhall is one of the oldest markets in London. Walking through it is like walking through time and experiencing the heart of the city.
