On May 11th I was delighted to be re-elected the Deputy Chairman of Markets and to enjoy our annual visit to Smithfield market. As the last of our markets located in the Square Mile it holds a special affection for me, especially as I look upon it form my office window. More importantly the Smithfield area is enjoying great and positive change with the upgraded Farringdon station, and the dis-used market buildings at the southern end of the site, will I hope, eventually be the site for our Museum of London.
