Le marché remonte au XIVe siècle. Il est bâti sur ce qui a été le centre de Londres à l'époque romaine.

Conçu en 1881 par Sir Horace Jones — qui a également été l'architecte de Billingsgate et Marchés Smithfield —, ce dernier souhaitait faire de cette construction une attraction touristique.

Ce marché a été utilisé en pour représenter la région de Londres, près de The Leaky Cauldron et Diagon Alley, dans le film Harry Potter à l'école des sorciers en 1997. Plus anciennement, en 1991, le video-clip Love To Hate You du groupe pop anglais Erasure y fut partiellement tourné.
