The City of London Corporation has revealed the first images of new concept designs for turning these special buildings into a new food and cultural destination for all Londoners.
The new images, which have been put together by architects Studio Egret West, show how the buildings could be used in the future – helping to strengthen and diversify the cultural and creative offer of the Square Mile, while attracting new visitors and the wider public to the market buildings.
The new concept designs have evolved following public engagement held in the summer of this year, with a further iteration set to be released during 2021.

Studio Egret West’s Smithfield Market proposal - All-seasons garden under a glass roof winding through the granite setts of the Victorian Rotunda ramp
Studio Egret West has revealed images of what Smithfield Market could look like after the historic market has moved to Essex.

Cultural and entertainment spaces would be created and the architects have proposed a continuing role for food in the market’s future, with training in growing, preparation and consumption of ingredients happening on site on site.
