Tattersall's
a noted London auction mart for horses. This horse market was founded in 1770 by Richard Tattersall. Since 1865 it has been at Knightsbridge Green. Horses are sold at auction every Monday of the year, and in spring a second weekly auction is held on Tuesday. Tattersall's is headquarters for sporting men. It is the center of all matters relative to British horseraces and betting, quite as Wall Street is the financial center of the United States.
