Possibly Borough Market is my favorite gourmet pick in London. The best ones are the olives and artichoke hearts, simply fantastic. Whatsmore, on many stands they´ll give you tasters of whatever they´re selling. Even though many are saying that it´s open only on Fridays and Sats, I´ve just returned from London and I went to the market 3 times: on... more

Easy to find get off at London Bridge and go down steps by Southwalk Cathedral and its amazing find. Only small but packed to brim with different fresh produce, from variety of countries including home grown. We got there Saturday afternoon and packed. Lots of stalls offering hot foods and we decided to have our lunch there eating out side... more

I adore Borough Market. This was my first London experience..coming straight from the airport, we just got off the tube at "London Bridge" station, tired and having jet lag. We had no idea where we were..we just started walking into the market..and VOILA ! Refreshed, awed, shocked, amazed. It was Friday morning and there were sausages and pates and cheese... more

For a delightful change of pace from the museums and galleries of London, you must take time on a Saturday morning to make a visit to Borough Market. So much to see and sample. It is not easy to decide from among the many, wonderful choices, but do pick a few items to make up a tasty lunch. Or just... more

I love Borough Market on a Saturday. True, it can get busy and the food is quite pricey, but it's a great way to while away a morning. There are lots of samples on offer (try the Green Market for this) and you can't beat eating a freshly made lunch on the grass outside of Southwark Cathedral. There are also... more

I spent an hour or two at the Borough Market, mostly searching for the main market itself -- before I realized that the few stalls and booths I saw were all that I was going to find. I couldn't believe how few vendors were present and how limited was the selection of foods and restaurants in the area. A small... more

If you like top quality food and drink, and eating on the hoof then you must visit this place. It is absolutley fantastic. But don't eat before you go, make sure you are very hungry. Don't forget only open Fridays and Saturdays. more

If you get to the Tower on a Friday and you have some time, walk acorss the Bridge to the South side (opposite from the Tower of London side) for lunch. On the right hand side of the road down a small side street you will find the most amazing food market which opens up with all sorts of cuisine.... more
