	Victorian London - Markets - Smithfield Market

		The confined area of Smithfield produced so many nuisances, and so many accidents were caused by infuriated cattle being driven through the crowded streets of the City, that public opinion, after some years of contention, compelled the removal of the metropolitan cattle market to its present commodious habitat.
		Smithfield is worth visiting, if only to see the characteristic types of humanity that are common here; but it is well not to choose a hot summer's day for the purpose.

		Football may also have started here: 'From the apprentices' game in Smithfield grew the street games in Cheapside, Covent Garden and the Strand, the Shrove Tuesday games at Derby, Nottingham, Kingston on Thames, and elsewhere, that came to be known as "mob football," and these were little more than violent street battles.
		The football field was the length of the town, the players might be as many as five hundred, the conflict continued all day long; vast numbers of windows and legs were broken, and there were even some deaths.

		Moving up to the second floor dining room (all big beams and exposed brickwork) we were swiftly moved through the bustling an incredibly busy restaurant to our table which looked out over the glory of Smithfield.
		Eyeing up the menu Mr Grumpy’s mood was pacified somewhat by the back to basics, good British grub it featured (although I think it’s fair to say that Chef John Torode has picked up a few pointers from the orient and rural Italy).
