City of London Corporation plans to co-locate London’s historic wholesale markets to purpose-built facilities at Dagenham Dock, designed by Chetwoods.

The City of London Corporation has secured planning consent for a new consolidated wholesale food market, bringing together the existing Smithfield, Billingsgate and New Spitalfields markets on a single 17-hectare site in the east of the capital, potentially freeing up the three sites for mixed-use redevelopment.
