Clare Market
Clare Market is a historic area located in London, England. It was originally established in the 17th century and has undergone significant changes over the centuries. The market was named after Clare College, Cambridge, which owned the land on which the market was built.

Clare Market was established in the 1650s and quickly became a bustling center for trade and commerce. It was known for its diverse range of goods, including fresh produce, meat, and other foodstuffs. The market was particularly famous for its butchers and fishmongers.
In the 19th century, Clare Market became associated with the working-class population of London. It was a vibrant and lively area, frequented by locals and visitors alike. The market was also known for its street performers and entertainers, adding to its lively atmosphere.
Decline and Redevelopment[edit | edit source]
By the early 20th century, Clare Market began to decline due to various factors, including the rise of supermarkets and changes in shopping habits. The area suffered from neglect and became less popular as a shopping destination.
In the mid-20th century, significant redevelopment efforts were undertaken to revitalize Clare Market. The area was transformed with new buildings and infrastructure, and efforts were made to preserve its historical significance. Today, Clare Market is part of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) campus, and many of the original market buildings have been repurposed for academic use.
