Borough Market in London has invoked a contingency plan and traders have begun stockpiling produce on concern that the U.K. might leave the European Union without an agreement on March 29. Business in the market has already slowed.
“Our traders are really concerned now,” Managing Director Darren Henaghan said in an interview. “They are good people, but they are scared. We now have everyone from our florist storing flowers through to bakers storing flour and just about everyone in between.”
