no no > "Unlock the huge potential" = "We have big money with big self serving plans coming in."

tldr from bsremover too:

Smithfield: Big meat market, been there since 1860s. Billingsgate: Huge fish market, been there since 1327, now moving to make way for homes.

So a real state take over, pretty much?

Yes. Canary Wharf is being transformed from a purely financial district into a mixed business-residential district. They want to move noisy and smelly businesses away from the offices and apartments.

Smithfield Market and the City of London are nowhere near Canary Wharf

Billingsgate old fish market is an art gallery now. They moved the actual market to canary wharf ages ago.
