Info
Honey Lane Market was an historic market near Cheapside in the City of London.It was built at the south end of Milk Street on the site of the parish church of St Mary Magdalen after that church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and not rebuilt. The market at one time had 105 butchers' stalls. Edward Hatton noted in 1708 that the market was known for its meat, fish, and poultry.By 1835 the market had closed and the City of London School was built on the market site on the corner with Russia Row. It was paid for with money bequethed for the purpose by John Carpenter, city clerk in the reign of King Henry V. It grew so rapidly that in 1883 it moved to the Victoria Embankment.Honey Lane was completely destroyed and the surrounding area seriously damaged by German bombing on 29 December 1940.The current Honey Lane is approximately 100 yards east of the old one and connects Cheapside and Trump Street.
