Combining Sky Garden and Leadenhall Market visits on the Aug 31 Bank Holiday - shops open?

I'm in London for the week, but the 31st fits well into our schedule. Do you think any of the shops at Leadenhall market will be open or should I pick another day?

The City of London webpage for Leadenhall Market is at http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/visit-the-city/eat-drink/leadenhall-market/Pages/default.aspx and you can click through to the individual stores to see their hours.

I expect that some of the restaurants may be open, but would expect stores and most restaurants to close. Leadenhall Market is pretty much dead on weekends and a bank holiday would be even deader. But have a few clickthroughs.

I do know that Jaeger Outlet will be closed all weekend, and Hotel Chocolat is closing permanently this week.

I have a regular appointment that takes me past Leadenhall Market on the bus on Sundays, and it's always looked utterly dead and deserted. I think Bank Holiday Monday will be the same.

I will schedule Sky Garden/Leadenhall Market to visit on Tuesday. I had checked the website before I posted. Thanks!
