London Zoo Animals Feast on Fresh Produce for Market's 50th Anniversary

Covent Garden Market celebrates five decades of supplying fresh produce to London's retail and hospitality sectors.

The market, originally based in Covent Garden, relocated to Nine Elms in 1974 and was ceremonially opened by Queen Elizabeth II.
New Covent Garden Market supports 175 businesses, providing produce to clients like Harrods, Claridge's, and Michelin-starred restaurants.
Wholesalers, such as the family-run Bevington Salads, have been integral to the market's legacy and are committed to future challenges.
Gary Marshall, chairman of the New Covent Garden Tenants' Association, highlights the market's role as a vital part of London's supply chain.
Wanda Goldwag, chair of the Market Authority, emphasizes the importance of sustainability and evolving customer demands for the market's future.
