Yeah not to far from them…but on the north side of the Thames where as they are both on the south side also its a meat market rather than fruit etc…its nearer Borough than New Covent…also Smithfield is different to most of the other markets as its actually on public roads unlike the others where you through a gate into a compound sort of thing.
There are pubs,clubs and resturaunts around the market area so you get lots of traffic taxis etc and ■■■■■■ people trying to get themselves run over while you are trying to reverse into the unloading areas…it can be an interesting nights work :laughing: :laughing:

i was chatting to one of theur drivers recently who was a brit, got some nice motors

nice to see the pulham faggots old motor too :laughing:

Oh how that has brought back some memories of delivering to there in my 6w Scanny 10 years ago. Always queuing, and at the time use to think how do these artic drivers do this nite in nite out!!! Now a bit wiser I would just go with th flow, but oh how your photo’s brought memories.

The site’s you could see coming out those Pubs & Clubs what are scattered around the perimeter of the market some nite’s are interesting to say the least. :exclamation:
