Smithfield Market comprises three buildings; two Victorian and one 1960's. All three buildings are Grade II* listed. Smithfield is the only remaining wholesale market in the City of London and the site is operational Monday to Friday. There will be a tour route setup up through the East side of the building that visitors can walk through on their own, with staff at either end. There will be information on each of the family businesses along the route for visitors to read through.

Nestled in the eaves of the Grade II listed Smithfield Market, Carmody Groarke’s architecture studio occupies a once-overlooked attic. Designed to accommodate 45 people alongside a workshop and model gallery, the office breathes new life into the previously unused space. Built in 1868, the meat market continues to operate today, serving as a dynamic backdrop to our practice.
