New Covent Garden Market

2.5 miles… a world of difference! Let’s step back to 1971, when New Covent Garden in Nine Elms was being developed for the first time. This transformation brought market traders from the cramped and tightly packed conditions of WC2, into the ‘modern world’, in SW8. Take a scroll through this piece to see what market businesses thought back then. It’s incredible to compare the scale from back then with our current redevelopment, which is taking shape and will be completed in late 2027! #NineElms50 #NCGM50

Today, we at New Covent Garden Market are coming together to celebrate World Mental Health Day. Our market is more than just a place of work; it’s a close-knit community where thousands of dedicated workers support and look after each other every day. 🌿💐 Mental health is crucial, and it’s important to remember that no one is alone. Our community thrives because we care for one another, creating a supportive environment where everyone can flourish. Let’s continue to check in on our friends, colleagues, and loved ones, not just today, but every day. 💚 If you or someone you know needs to talk, here are some UK organisations that can help: * Mind: @mindcharity * Samaritans: @samaritanscharity * Mental Health Foundation: @mentalhealthfoundation * Rethink Mental Illness: @rethinkmentalillness * CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably): @calmzone #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters
