The City of London Corporation has paused its plan to relocate Smithfield and Billingsgate markets to Dagenham, while reviewing the project's financial sustainability.
The cessation of the relocation scheme was confirmed in a report, with the City of London Corporation stating it is exploring other options for the future.
Havering Council had previously objected to the move based on a historical law restricting market setups within a day's sheep drive, highlighting regulatory challenges.
Despite the halted relocation, the new London Museum project will continue unaffected, indicating some level of separation from the markets' relocation plans.
