New Spitalfields Market is the UK’s largest fruit and vegetable market and, along with Billingsgate and Smithfield, one of three world-famous wholesale food markets owned and managed by the City of London Corporation. We provide and maintain the 13-hectare site and its infrastructure, and let out trading space on long-term leases.
