Leadenhall Market - London
More pictures of Leadenhall Market taken on a Sunday afternoon. In 1991, Leadenhall Market was extensively restored. The ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream, and cobbled floors of the current building, designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones (who was also the architect of Billingsgate and Smithfield Markets), make the building a tourist attraction. It was used to represent the area of London near The Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It is also popular among local city workers.

Looks incredible. Shame about the City "workers" cluttering the place up, but fortunately there's a lot less of them about these days... ;)
