Designed by Richard Rogers and developed by British Land and Oxford Properties, the new Leadenhall Building is 225 m (737 ft) tall, with 48 floors. With its distinctive wedge-shaped profile it has been nicknamed the Cheesegrater, a name originally given to it by the City of London Corporation's chief planning officer, Peter Rees, who upon seeing a model of the concept "told Richard Rogers I could imagine his wife using it to grate parmesan. [The name] stuck." (Wikipedia)

1803 marked the first appearance of the Market Block on this location. Fast forward to 2025 and the sixth building in succession, the new Farmer's Market has now been erected and is scheduled to open in spring of 2025.
The St. Lawrence Market South building across the street of 1902 serves as the permanent market and was named as one of the best food markets in the world by National Geographic.
