The Lea Valley, often referred to as the Cucumber Capital of Britain or London's Salad Bowl, is a significant agricultural region producing approximately 75% of the nation's cucumbers, as well as a variety of other fresh produce like sweet peppers, aubergines, tomatoes, and lettuce. Spanning around 450 acres of glasshouses, this fertile area stretches from Central London through Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Cambridgeshire, and into Yorkshire.
Each year, the region cultivates an impressive 500 million cucumbers alongside a diverse range of herbs, flowers, trees, and aquatic plants, making it an essential hub for food processors, caterers, and wholesale buyers seeking quality British fresh produce. The Lea Valley Growers Association serves as a vital link between growers and the market, supporting local agricultural initiatives and promoting the region's rich horticultural heritage.
