Chetwoods submits plans to relocate historic food markets to Dagenham

Dagenham triple market

Smithfield, Billingsgate and New Spitalfields sites would be redeveloped

The City of London Corporation today submitted plans designed by Chetwoods for the UK’s largest wholesale food market in Dagenham.

The project would combine the current operations of historic Smithfield, Billingsgate and New Spitalfields markets on one site on the very eastern edge of the capital.

The 42-acre brownfield site, chosen for its rail and river links, is the former home of Barking Reach Power Station, now known as Dagenham Dock.
