The oldest meat and fish markets in London, which date back 850 years, are facing permanent closure from 2028.

Smithfield meat market, near St Paul's Cathedral, and Billingsgate fish market in Canary Wharf are to be closed after the City of London Corporation voted to withdraw support for them.

The Corporation said it would now work with traders to help them find alternative premises.

Traders, who have been offered compensation, have said the move means a London tradition will be lost, with one saying "it's all about the money now".
