Brief description

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cje050wz22qo

"The oldest meat and fish markets in London, which date back 850 years, are facing permanent closure from 2028.

Smithfield meat market, near St Paul's Cathedral, and Billingsgate fish market in Canary Wharf are to be closed after the City of London Corporation voted to withdraw support for them.

The Corporation said it would now work with traders to help them find alternative premises.

Traders, who have been offered compensation, have said the move means a London tradition will be lost, with one saying "it's all about the money now"."

"Billingsgate is the largest inland fish market in the UK, with an average of 25,000 tonnes of fish and fish products sold there every year. The original market first traded in Lower Thames Street in the City in 1327, before moving to its current site in Poplar, east London, in 1982.

It provides fish to businesses including fishmongers, fish-and-chip shops, delicatessens and restaurants.

This site has now been earmarked to provide thousands of new homes."

"The Corporation will now have to file a Private Bill in Parliament as it seeks to absolve itself of the legal responsibility of running the markets.

It said traders would be able to continue their operations at the markets until at least 2028."
