Mercato Metropolitano, which has operated from a former paper-making factory in Elephant & Castle for nine years, is to be demolished after plans for the Borough Triangle development were approved by Southwark councillors in March. The housing scheme will see almost 900 homes built in tower blocks up to 44 storeys high. A spokesperson for the market, which has 40 independent traders, said "despite recent incorrect speculation" the market remained open, adding that it had "lots more exciting things to look forward to" next year.
