Smithfield and Billingsgate finally know new home
Plans have been announced to move the historic markets to the Royal Docks in east London.
The historic Smithfield and Billingsgate markets could both move to new site at the Royal Docks in east London, under new plans.
The City of London Corporation - which currently operates the centuries-old meat and fish markets - said it was working with the Greater London Authority and Newham Council on the "exciting " proposals to relocate the markets.
So why is the move needed? And what do traders make of it all?
