Located between Jubilee Street, Queen Victoria Street, Queen's Road Central and Des Voeux Road Central, it was the first wet market in Hong Kong. By its side is the first public female toilet and first above-ground toilets in Hong Kong.
Central Market is listed as a Grade III historic building.
There is a public toiet on Des Voeux Road Central.
The market is housed in a 4-storey reinforced concrete structure, and contains 200 booths inside. The market is spacious with a central court, high ceiling and window walls for natural light and ventilation. There are two entrances of the market. The Des Voeux Road Central entrance is one the ground floor while the Queen's Road Central entrance bridges the first floor.

The building is largely abandoned with few stores along a renovated pedestrian corridor inside, Central Escalator Link Alley Shopping Arcade (中環購物廊). The corridor is linked by two footbridges to Hang Seng Bank New Headquarters Building and Central Elevated Walkway, and another footbridge to the Central-Mid-Levels escalator. Shops in the arcade include tailors, 7-Eleven, cleanser, collectors and other trades. Source: Wikipedia
The building has temporarily been redecorated on the theme of Central Oasis, pending further development.
