New Covent Garden Market: 

New Covent Garden Market is the largest fresh produce market in the UK.  It plays a unique role in London's market provision supplying fruit, vegetables, flowers, plants and many other catering needs.
Customers include leading chefs and florists, restaurants and hotels, schools and hospitals.

Over 2,500 people are employed here and the central location provides ready access to the West End, City and all parts of the Capital.  There are some 245 companies on site.

Covent Garden Market Authority (CGMA) is the statutory corporation responsible to Defra for the running of New Covent Garden Market.

In September 2006 CGMA announced the start of a two year programme to agree how to replace the Market's 30 year old infrastructure with fresh, modern facilities.  For more information on this please see below:
