ChapelMarket is a daily street market in London, United Kingdom.
Notable ChapelMarket pubs include the Agricultural at the extreme east end, an old institution that got its name from the historic use of Upper Street as a livestock route south into London and specifically to Smithfield meat market.
In the middle of the market near to the corner of White Lion Street is The Alma Lounge, popular with an older crowd, and frequently full early in the day.
The older Butris is the owner of ChapelMarket, where a ring of shoplifters has been bringing merchandise stolen from suburban retailers since at least 2002, according to police.
The investigation also discovered that ChapelMarket was more than the average "fence," where locally stolen merchandise is resold locally.
In the current context, the gray market describes the supply chain that includes the 'boosters' (the term for organized shoplifters) who supplied stolen goods; the "fence" who received, resold and even repackaged merchandise for distribution; and various stores where customers are often unaware the shelves are stocked with stolen merchandise.
