New Covent Garden Market
 
New Covent Garden Market (NCGM) has over 800 years of history and has been located at Vauxhall since 1974.
 
NCGM is the largest fresh produce market in the UK. There are 240 businesses, employing 2,500 people on the 57 acre (22.7 hectares) site which between them supply about 40% of fresh fruit and vegetables eaten outside the home in London.
 
The range of food businesses includes traditional wholesalers, wholesale distributors and food processors. NCGM serves many of London’s best restaurants and hotels, cafés and bars, schools, hospitals and work places as well as independent retailers and street markets. Its central location gives easy access to the City and the West End. The majority of customers visit the Market between midnight and 8am.
 
There is a strong organic sector trading onsite and some specialist products including ethnic produce. The Market has high service levels and a wealth of knowledge and a passion for food. With a growing number of specialised food service companies there is increasing potential for added value, niche products and unusual seasonal varieties.
