Leadenhall Market announces a wave of delicious new foodie openings for the City

The City of London’s Leadenhall Market has today announced three new food & drink outlets to be added to the market’s portfolio during June. Visitors to the City’s Victorian market will soon be able to enjoy new flavours from Argentina, Lebanon and Taiwan in the spectacular surroundings of the historical London marketplace.

First to have open its doors is Argentinian Grill, serving up various cuts of delicious flame cooked meats alongside popular South American sides including Provenzal fries, sweet potato and empanadas. The restaurant is open on Mondays-Saturdays from 11am-11pm and Sundays from 11am-6pm.

From mid-June, Yi Fang will be joining the market with a bubble tea store serving nostalgic flavours of early-Taiwanese hospitality. With its fruit-infused teas inspired by the owners’ grandmother’s secret recipe, Yi Fang’s crafts are made with a commitment to using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, giving customers the chance to customise their drinks with their desired sweetness and ice preferences. The store will be open on Mondays-Fridays, 12pm-8pm and Saturday-Sunday, 11am-6pm.

Also arriving at the market in mid-June is Lebanese favourites Baba Ghanoush, offering its famous falafels and traditional Lebanese cuisines. Known for their honest, wholesome, modern healthy Mediterranean dishes, including Kibbeh, stuffed vine leaves, chickpea salad bowls and falafel wraps the restaurant will be serving from Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm.

A familiar face will also return to the market in June, as Hoxton Street Monster Supplies reopens its store. Back by popular demand following the success of its Halloween pop-up in the market in 2022, expect gory-flavoured conserves, deathly-scented candles, kitchen utensils made from ‘human’ bones and anything else a monster could need. The store will be open Tuesdays-Fridays from 11am-5pm.

Greg Stalcup, Partner at Levy Real Estate who manage the lettings for Leadenhall Market, said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming these exciting new eateries to one of London’s oldest market places. Leadenhall Market continues to evolve, now not only being a place to eat, drink and shop but somewhere for people to enjoy a variety of exciting pop-up stores and events, bringing old and new faces to this beautiful destination in the heart of the City. These three new openings mark the start of a busy year ahead for the market, as we prepare to introduce more outlets later in the summer. These will complement the eclectic range of existing tenants – from family-owned florists to cheesemongers and high-end jewellers, French and Italian restaurants and the award winning historic Lamb Tavern, there’s something for everyone at this historic gem.”

Located in the centre of the City of London’s financial district, Leadenhall Market marked its 700th anniversary in 2021. Originally a meat, poultry and game market, it is now home to a collection of boutique retailers, restaurants, cafes, wine bars and an award-winning pub, The Lamb Tavern.

The site is owned by the City of London Corporation, who were gifted it in 1411 by the former Lord Mayor Richard ‘Dick’ Whittington. Surviving changes in use, rebuilding and even the Great Fire, its current beautiful Victorian architecture with soaring archways, spectacular painted roof and cobbled streets was designed by Sir Horace Jones (who also designed Smithfield Market and Tower Bridge) and dates back to 1881.

Leadenhall Market’s lettings are managed by Levy Real Estate. For businesses wishing to enquire about joining Leadenhall Market, contact liv.england@levyrealestate.co.uk
