This is right next to Leadenhall Market, which dates from the 14th century. I wonder if there were other markets on the same-ish site between the Roman forum and Leadenhall.
- zeristor 2y agoI believe Leadenhall carried on being used as a market. I’m not sure about the 400s to 900s when the Anglo-Saxons clambered over Roman ruins. The Vikings set up shop around The Strand and Covent Garden, then Alfred reinstated London. I think, I am not historian, and maybe attributing much to recent TV shows. But I’ve worked through Queenhythe enough times to read the placards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queenhithe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queenhithe
