The place is unbelievably BEAUTIFUL! The 1 missing star is for the inaccuracy of the information. If tourists would consider the visiting the place based on what is written as 24/7 open, they would be disappointed. The market itself and the nice decor is accessible but all of the shops are closed so their visit would be limited and they would not fully experience the place as is when alive. I'd urge management updating opening times according to the opening of at least most of the shops :)

Beautiful structure and must visit if you are Harry Potter fans. Came at night and most stores are closed already except some bars and restaurants. It’s not that big so you can walk through the whole thing in like 2 - 3 minutes. Highly recommended if you are visiting the area. Multiple stations/bus stops nearby the market.

Beautiful and one of the oldest markets in London, dating from the 14th century, and is located in the center of the city of London. Originally famous market for meat, poultry, and game, and now there are a number of boutique retailers, restaurants, cafes, wine bars, and an award-winning pub. This place has some more uniqueness as the part of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was filmed here. This market is not open on Sundays as per my last visit.

Visited this small but charming coveted market while on a tour of London City. Learned that it was filmed in Harry Potter as location for of the Leaky Cauldron. The space is historic and cute, and unique among the buildings it resides next to. We were told that on a given weekday, it is frequented by a range of people, from traders and bankers to young Harry Potter fans.

Leadenhall Market is One of London's Oldest Markets, Dating back to the 14th century and what was the Hesrt of Roman London... Formerly a Meat & Poultry Market... Beautiful Architecture and History of the past, right in the Shadows of London's Financial District...and some of it's Tallest Skyscrapers.... this little Gem 💎 Nestles.... Now you can enjoy a Drink in one of the pubs ( we chose the Lamb) but there are some lovely shops and this is a "MUST SEE " Highlight of London...( in my Opinion) Borough Market right next to Tower Bridge is another Great place, more of a Living History ( many Foods to Try) Which is a Great part of the Experience of Going to Borough Market.... But Leadenhall is a Beautiful Example of Historic London) Enjoy 😉 Russell....🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I visited the market on a Sunday evening (around 7:30) so all stores and restaurants were closed. However, that wasn't a problem at all since the empty place and it's amazing lighting are perfect for pictures. The only thing that could be better is the construction site just outside the market. It blocks the way out. Everything else was just perfect. I strongly recommend visiting. It's the perfect place to visit if you don't have much time to spend in the city and just want to grab a drink, because you won't lose time on a line to get there. It's extra perfect if you are a Harry Potter fan!

Sadly, got there at 6 pm, and most places were closed, except the bars and restaurants, and thank goodness the bookstore.... Still worth the trip to see the architecture, and the colors really pop at night. Well worth the trip, and the bookstore does have great service and selection:-).

Leadenhall Market is a captivating venue that effortlessly combines history and modern charm. Stepping into its enchanting corridors feels like entering a magical realm, and it's no wonder it became a filming location for Harry Potter. The market exudes a timeless elegance, boasting stunning architecture that adds a touch of grandeur to any visit. One of the gems within Leadenhall Market is its fantastic restaurant scene. The eateries not only offer a diverse culinary experience but also provide a delightful balance between quality and affordability. The reasonable prices make it an accessible choice for both locals and visitors. The ambiance of the restaurants is enhanced by the market's unique atmosphere, creating a dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary. For Harry Potter enthusiasts and food lovers alike, Leadenhall Market is a must-visit destination where history, magic, and delicious cuisine converge in a truly memorable way.

A really nice market with plenty of decent restaurants and bars, all of which were very busy on a Saturday afternoon. The bars and restaurants are the only features that are open on a weekend and all of the main shops were closed. The building design is very impressive and has lots of hidden little features to look at.

Was so nice to visit this unique market area. It was visually impressive and unforgettable. There were a lot of nice pubs and bistro's. The retail shops were limited and a lot of vacancies. I would have loved to see this place thriving and bustling.

A lovely little area with some good shops and a nice atmosphere. Brilliant Victorian buildings and ironwork, I particularly liked how the fonts over the shop windows were all consistent and old-fashioned, but said the modern shop names. Lovely Christmas decorations too.

This is probably the most beautiful market in London, the architecture is stunning. There are so many opportunities for photos! I didn't have the chance to stop off for food, but their was a huge variety to choose from. I'll be back next time for some culinary delights!

Haven't been to a single shop due to tier 4, but if you want to visit a beautiful place that has warm, cozy and vintage vibes, take a look here. Absolutely marvelous

Originally built in 14th century as a meat and poultry market but I don't think that would've been a good idea in the long run especially with such beautiful decor. In 1881 it was a given a new life in form of ornate roof, cobbled Street and maroon/green colour by the same architect who designed Bishopsgate and Smithfield Market making it more of a tourist attraction than just a bunch of shops. Personally I get the true historical London vibe in this area for some reason. If you walk around here on a typical British cloudy/rainy day, it just feels like olden black & white times. The pouring rain, the old buildings, people walking in a rush, the smell in the air. There's just something about it.

Leadenhall Street is a street in the City of London. It is about ¹⁄₃ mile long and links Cornhill in the west to Aldgate in the east. It was formerly the start of the A11 road from London to Norwich, but that route now starts further east at Aldgate. Leadenhall Street has always been a centre of commerce.

Stunning and Iconic historical market. Great to walk through during the day and look around. It is mainly food and bars/ pubs now so best to know in advance. The atmosphere in the evening is very vibrant and pre Covid had so much life to it after everyone finished work. The architecture is really beautiful and good places to drink. Definitely worth a visit or walk through if you're in the area. If you liked my review feel free to give it a 👍 and follow me on Google Maps for more reviews

The very impressively designed and decorated Leadenhall Indoor Market is an iconic location in London. An excellent location for photographers as well as a meeting point for friends and family. There are a number of Gastropubs and other eating establishments as well as a number of shops selling a myriad of items. The outstanding design and colour scheme and lack of any company logos and branding make it an unusual but beautiful location. There are a number of small alley's off the main indoor thoroughfare which also add to the overall impressive visual effect. The painted ceiling is also very impressive. Walking through Leadenhall is like taking a trip back in time. Highly recommended as a place to visit, dine and drink or meet friends and family or shop and for those once in a lifetime photo opportunities.

Nice indoor market place with some pubs and restaurants and boutique shops. There’s usually good Christmas decorations during the festive season. Popular sport with bankers and insurance professionals to grab an after work drink. This was also used as a set in the first Harry Potter movie and the ‘Leaky Cauldron’ shop front can still be found.

Beautiful Market that has boutique shops & restaurants for everyone. It has the outdoor feel but is covered by beautiful covered architecture that dates back to the 14th century! Definitely add it to your list when you’re in London, even if it’s just a quick walk through.

While this is a beautiful structure, it contains mostly bars + restaurants. So in my eyes not really a market as the stores which were there are all high end ones. However it's well worth a look if Ur in the area. Very near the Gherkin, Fenchurch Building (Sky Garden) + tower of London too.

Not really a market or shopping area anymore. Doesn’t look like they did well after Covid. Mainly spots to grab a drink for happy hour or a small bite. Very picturesque though! Only worth a stop if you’ll be in the area (would not detour).

This place is a little gem. The architecture is lovely and it's worth a walk through. There's a couple little pubs there too which are cool. I think this also may be a filming location from Harry Potter (Diagon alley?) I'm not a Harry potter fan so not 100% sure. But it's worth having a wander in anyway

HARRY POTTER INSPIRED - what an amazing market - truly a wonderful feat of architecture. It is a lovely place for photos and seriously took me back to the ministry of magic. 100% recommend for any Harry Potter fan out there but also anyone that is looking for a magical place to shop

Es ist ein historischer Ort den man besuchen sollte. Umrahmt wird diese gut erhaltene Markt-Passage von moderner Architektur. Was dann schon wieder seinen eigenen Reiz entwickelt. Für richtige Fotografen ein perfekte Ort. Ansonsten sollte man nicht zu viel erwarten. Die Anzahl der Geschäfte ist sehr überschaubar aber passt gut hier her. Die Passage ist nicht so groß wie man vermutet. Viel Zeit muss man auf seinem Rundgang durch die City hier nicht einplanen. Daher gibt es im Vergleich zu anderen Passagen nicht alle Sterne.

Great shops and restaurants in a pretty environment. Nice pub too! Located between Liverpool Street and Monument.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and one of the historic markets of London. It was designed by the same architect who made the Tower Bridge: Horace Jones. On this day, in addition to city workers, the market attracts Harry Potter fans from around the world, as it appeared in the film. At Christmas time, it is usually very beautifully decorated. Weekends are the best time to visit if you want to avoid the crowds, although most shops and bars, like the rest of the city, will be closed. (Original) Прекрасний і один з історичних ринків Лондона. Його спроектував той самий архітектор, що робив Тауерський міст: Горацій Джонс. Цього дня, крім міських працівників, ринок приваблює фанатів Гаррі Поттера з усього світу, як це з'явилося у фільмі. У різдвяний час він, як правило, дуже красиво прикрашений. Вихідні дні - найкращий час для відвідування, якщо ви хочете уникнути натовпу, хоча більшість магазинів і барів, як і решта міста, будуть закриті.

(Translated by Google) Built in 1881 in the heart of London (a few steps from Monument and Liverpool Street underground stations) to a design by architect Horace Jones, the Leafenhall covered market is openly inspired by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan. It stands on the site of a Roman basilica, of which a part of the wall remains visible in the back room of a hairdresser. Once a poultry market, today it houses pubs, restaurants and shops frequented mainly by City employees. Due to its elegant and refined and above all timeless shapes, Leadenhall Market has been the focus of various film shoots, including some Harry Potter scenes. A truly special market, with a widely deserved reputation. (Original) Edificato nel 1881 in pieno centro londinese (a pochi passi dalle stazioni metro di Monument e Liverpool Street) su progetto dell'architetto Horace Jones, il mercato coperto di Leafenhall si ispira scopertamente alla Galleria Vittorio Emanuele di Milano. Esso sorge sul luogo di una basilica romana, di cui resta una parte di muro visibile nel retrobottega di un parrucchiere. Un tempo mercato del pollame, oggi ospita pub, ristoranti e negozi frequentati soprattutto dagli impiegati della City. Per le sue forme eleganti e raffinate e soprattutto senza tempo, Leadenhall Market è stato al centro di svariate riprese cinematografiche, tra cui alcune scene di Harry Potter. Un mercato davvero speciale, dalla fama ampiamente meritata.

A great spot in the middle of the skyscrapers! This little market date back to the 14th century. It's now been refurbished and it's a common place for a lunch time break to business man working in the city but, also has fashion shops, in case you need a 'fresh shirt or jacket' for a meeting. A gem in the city worth to visit it if you are passing by the area.

This was on my list of things to see when I went to London. I'm glad I did it's a really impressive place. I like that there is the main part and then little side streets leading off in the same style. It was a great place to visit and I'm glad I went. Some other information about this place. Leadenhall Market dates back to 1321 and is situated in what was the centre of Roman London. Originally a meat, poultry and game market, it is now home to a number of boutique retailers, restaurants, cafes, wine bars and an award-winning pub. Leadenhall Market's beautifully covered pathways stood in for Diagon Alley in the first Harry Potter Film. Hagrid and Harry walk through the market and then enter the Leaky Cauldron Pub through a blue door. Leadenhall Market is a popular choice as a filming location and can be seen in many cinematic marvels including Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Hereafter and Love Aaj Kal.

Stopped off on our way home via Cannon Street. The victorian architecture by Sir Horace Jones is simply stunning and worth taking a few photos as there's so much detail. Most eateries and bars are expensive, but that's the city, I guess! Don't forget to stop at the monster supplies shop.

If you have never been here -its time to visit 🤗: The highest point of London's view -Horizon 22 .. The nice ,old English buildings and delicious French patisserie,plus steak house.. Trendy office shops .. Closed to Themes...and old pass ways ... You would enjoy it ,trust me

Lively with many contemporary shops such as Hobbs, Reiss and Hagen coffee and various little restaurants. A very unique location in between the skyscrapers

The stunning Victorian architecture coupled with a vibrant atmosphere makes it a must-visit spot. Strolling through its cobbled walkways, surrounded by an array of shops, cafes, and vendors, is an experience in itself. The market's history adds a unique charm to the vibrant scene. A great place for both locals and tourists to explore, shop, dine, and immerse in a bit of London's history and culture.

Visited the first time during covid... completely deserted.. would love to see it in its prime.

Beautiful and one of London’s historical markets. It was designed by the same architect who did Tower Bridge: Horace Jones. These days apart from city workers the market attracts Harry Potter fans from all over the world as it has appeared in the movies. During Christmas time it is generally very beautiful decorated. Weekends is the best time to visit if you want to avoid the crowds although most of shops and bars, like the rest of the City, will be closed.

A posh, but now less busy market with a variety of restaurants and shops. Much different feel from the Borough Market across the river where it feels more local and have different cultures of food stalls

I can easily say that it is one of my favourite spots in London. Maybe it is for the colors, the architecture or the coziness feeling of warmth but it is beautiful at any time of the day.

Walked by on my trip to London before :)

COVID 19.

Came here on Monday afternoon. It’s been great to see shops and people are coming back now to be around. On the evenings, it usually gets busy with office workers walking around and chilling at the pub and really buzz feel in this old antique building. Worth exploring for sure!

Stunning roof and paint work. Not as big as I'd imagined from other people's photos but worth a visit.

Nice place to walk through if you are visiting the City. Mainly eating and drinking places for the workers and a few overpriced shops. Not really for the tourist or day tripper. Some good architecture though.

Leadenhall Market is a stunning covered market dating back to the 14th century. It boasts a unique variety of shops, restaurants and bars along with featuring in the first Harry Potter film.

Lovely market in a historical place. A hidden between skyscrapers, industrial architecture, metal, steel and glass. Full of bars, terraces, little shops, with such an "good old relaxed time" feeling. I loved the atmosphere and the beauty of the place.

The shops were all closed at the hour we were there, but it is a really beautiful market. The architecture is stunning. It's a work of art! Very photographic.

A vibrant spot brimming with a unique blend of history, culture, and commerce. Exploring the market is truly like stepping back in time with its stunning Victorian architecture. The array of eclectic shops, restaurants, and cafes cater to all sorts of gastronomic whims and shopping desires. A perfect place to soak in the city's character while enjoying a leisurely stroll or a delightful lunch.

This has lots of small shops and pubs/bars which date back to just after the great fire of London. Although there was extensive rebuilding in 1881. It was a bit cold when we went but I think in the summer and at the weekend it would be very busy 🙃

Currently all shops are closed due to lockdown, but the architecture inside is still wonderful and the place is currently completely empty. Worth a visit if you're walking pass.

cool buzzing place fantastic atmosphere and lovely restaurants - when there is no lockdown of course

One of the most beautiful indoor market i ever visited. It has a victorian style and feels so old. This place was used for film site such as Harry Potter. There are some restaurant and bar inside.

Went here to see Harry Potter filming location. Such a nice place to visit and the environment is very cinematic

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it wasn't busy 😏 (Original) War leider nicht viel los 😏

gorgeous, and perfect for photos

Superb place, everything you need and much more

Cheap price

Nice shop ..

Relaxing place

Some lovely shops, but, the overbearing colour scheme is incredibly dreary and depressing.

Beautiful looking buildings

Good place with wide range of choices when you need to buy something for yourself.

After lockdown best places

Loved it 👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐

Old meets new! Did you know Leadenhall market- located right in the heart of the city- is almost 700 years old? ✨ What's your favourite historical gem in London? Let us know below 👇 #VisitLondon [📸via IG @eastlondongirlblog]

Leadenhall Market always brings me such good memories 😊🇬🇧🥰♥️

If you love Harry Potter this is the place where they recorded for the diagonal alley. But also for other movies as well.

Pretty cool

Architecture super

SUPER!!

Beautiful piece of history in the City of London

(Translated by Google) Divine, one of my favorite corners of London (Original) Divino, uno de mis rincones preferidos de Londres

Ok

Cool

Worth a visit any time of day! The shops, bars and restaurants are good, and when they are closed it is a picture, quite literally

Okay

Lovely

Lovely little market, shame Covid 19 has closed everything

Stunningly beautiful

Perfect arcade to feel festive!

I love the place very live

Absolutely beautiful building! What a treasure. Would love to see some independent shops and eateries rather then the chains though.

During my recent stay in London I visited Leadenhall Market several times as my hotel was just down the road. It is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture and is home to a great mix of bars, restaurants and shops. There are so many original features still in place including the hooks where meat and poultry would be hung on display. I can recommend 'Cheese' for a delicious refreshment stop.

Beautifully restored covered market area, now seems to be shops in the arcade. On Saturday afternoon only the pub and restaurants were open, plus a sweet little patisserie

We visited early morning before shops were opened Loved the place with beautiful architecture Heard that this place will be busy during working hours

Really beautiful place. Great atmosphere. There are many pubs and shop and it is usually crowded with City workers enjoying a good time.

I was walking in the city of London, and I came to this place because I was advised. No regrets in spite of some of its victorian structures are under maintenance. Beautiful & classy with a touch of romance.

Fantastic older area within the city unusual in comparison to the surrounding businesses and building but great for a look around whilst exploring! Great pubs, restaurants and shops to visit.

Very beautiful old market in the City of London. You can find several small shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants here. But even without them, walking along the halls and taking in the impressive architecture and well kept or restored sights definitely makes it worth a visit.

A very quaint area with some lovely cafes restaurants and pubs. I haven't been there in years. But very picturesque.

Beautiful market in the city set amongst the modern buildings of the financial world. Used in many films including Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. Has been a market since 18th century

A nice market, smaller than say Spittlefields or Borough, but worth a pop by if you're in the area.

It was so an interesting place. I was there because of Harry Potter, they filmed there some scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone! Sooo cool!!!

Gorgeous place, currently on constructions tho, with a lot of places closed. Still a nice stroll.

I wasnt overly impressed with this market. It is mainly bar a restaurant and a few coffe shops. A few other shops but lots of empty shops. The overall structure was quite impressive but really not worth the time and effort unless you are specifically going to one of the shops/bars

Well worth a visit if you are in the area. A spectacular vision of a Victorian shopping centre in the heart of the City of London. Unfortunately there are a few vacant units but still a good atmosphere.

I visited London recently and this was one of the places I wanted to see mostly because of the connection to Harry Potter! The market was very lovely, although we didn't see many shops that were actually open. The coloring of the walls, the dragons everywhere and the beautiful starry ceiling was truly something to see. I hope this remains as a destination for travelers as it was one of my favorite stops in London.

Leadenhall Market is a picturesque architectural marvel with charming pubs. A must-visit for a delightful walk. Its proximity to Sky Gardens makes it even more enticing. Don't miss this gem while exploring the area!

Iconic Victorian London market. Superb place to take some amazing photographs. I spent about 15 minutes taking in the architectural details but with The Sky Garden, The Gherkin, Lloyd's of London, and many other London landmarks nearby, you can make a full day of exploration. Not much parking as mostly red route. £29.30 for 4 hours if you do manage to find a space, so it's probably best to stick with public transport for this one folks. There are lots of places to eat and drink. Didn't see any public toilets in the area.

Stunning (and very popular) spot for food and beverage around the holidays. It has a rich history but it most definitely feels like something out of the movies.

Selection of food and eating places mostly with a few clothes shops dotted throughout. Most appear to be shut over weekends so best to go during the week

To me, this is the most beautiful market in London. It's located not far from the Gherkin, only a short walks from Liverpool Street and Moorgate stations. So close to some free scenic points in London. Most shops are restaurants/cafes/pubs. Definitely worth a visit while in London.

Loved stopping by here! Heard a lot of good things. During Christmas it's super pretty with a lot of decorations and extremely well lit. Great for a few photos but not a lot to do.
