New Faces at Leadenhall: London’s Market Magic

A Historic Transformation

Leadenhall Market, a gem in the City of London, is transforming. This autumn, it’s getting five new permanent tenants. The buzz is palpable as the market evolves into a vibrant retail and dining hub.

The Magic of Proximity

House of Wonders: A Harry Potter Haven

Just in time for Halloween, the House of Wonders is landing at Leadenhall. The store is packed with Harry Potter goodies. From collectibles to clothing, it’s a magical addition, especially since Leadenhall was a filming spot for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Plus, there’s some Game of Thrones and Fantastic Beasts magic, too.

Culinary Delights: A Feast for the Senses

Sfrigola’s Sicilian Charm

Say hello to Sfrigola, straight from Sicily. They’re serving up their famous arancini, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. It’s not just food; it’s a Sicilian experience. They’ve already wowed Milan and Bucharest. Now, it’s London’s turn.

Buns From Home: Croissant Creativity

Started during lockdown, Buns From Home brings unique pastries to the market. From Marmite and Cheese to Dubai Choc, these hand-rolled croissants are a lunchtime game-changer. Fresh from the oven, they promise to delight.

Chango Empanadas: Argentine Flavor

Chango Empanadas spices things up with handcrafted treasures. Founder Bernardo Neville uses traditional Argentine recipes from Tucumán. Think classic beef, chicken, and veggie empanadas. And don’t miss their Dulce de Leche and Alfajores for dessert.

Retail and Arts: A Creative Hub

SoLo Craft Fair: The Local Touch

The SoLo Craft Fair has opened a permanent spot here. It showcases over 90 small businesses. From art to fashion to homeware, it’s a treasure trove of creativity. This permanent shop builds on SoLo’s weekend market success.

Market Dynamics: Strengthening Leadenhall’s Appeal

Ollie Goode, an Asset Manager at Leadenhall Market, sums it up best: “Leadenhall Market continues to evolve as a thriving destination seven days a week.” With these new additions, there’s something for everyone—be it locals grabbing lunch or weekend explorers soaking in history and magic.
