Leadenhall Market in London's financial district has the most decorative architecture of all the purpose-built London markets. It was built on the site of Roman London's basilica in 1881. However, the site had been in use as a market since at least the fourteenth century. It is essentially a collection of glazed arcades of the type that Victorian Britain erected in major cities for covered shopping. I came upon it during the morning, before the cafes and pubs had sprung into life, and enjoyed the shadows and pools of light that illuminated this section of the market.
