Leadenhall Market Public Events & Placemaking Programme

Since 2021, Teatime has curated and delivered the public events calendar at Leadenhall Market, providing a year-round programme of bespoke events, cultural activations and placemaking initiatives in the heart of the City of London.

The programme combines original event concepts with strategic partner commissions, tenant collaborations and permanent installations, alongside capital purchasing for reusable assets that support both annual and continuous activation of the space. This approach ensures long-term value, sustainability and consistent public engagement across the calendar year.

Teatime’s event strategy has played a key role in supporting Leadenhall Market tenants during the post-Covid recovery, increasing footfall and dwell time while repositioning Leadenhall as a destination for discovery. The programme offers a contemporary alternative to traditional City events, blending culture, playfulness and heritage within a historic London setting.
