Central London's Smithfield meat market, which dates from the 10th century, will relocate to a purpose-built site in Dagenham as part of a 1 billion GBP project to combine the city's wholesale markets under one roof.

However, the new market is expected to bring 2,700 new jobs to the borough of Barking and Dagenham. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
