Hungerford Market, Historical marketplace in City of Westminster, England
The market featured three sections with an upper quadrangle for food items and a lower quadrangle containing the fish market with boat access.
Built between 1831 and 1833 by architect Charles Fowler, the Italianate structure replaced an earlier market established on the site in 1682.
The market halls contained numerous shops for merchants and residents, offering fresh fish, vegetables, meats, and penny ices to the Westminster community.
Floating piers connected the marketplace to the river, enabling steamboats to transport visitors and goods to multiple destinations throughout London.
In 1862, the South Eastern Railway purchased the market site, leading to its demolition for the construction of Charing Cross railway station.
