The first Borough Market began at the foot of London Bridge 1,000 years ago. It has been in its current location since 1756. The market is run by a charitable trust on behalf of the community. Their mission is to “ show that food can be made and sold in ways that are better for people, for the planet and for the sheer pleasure of eating.”
A few decades ago it was a wholesale market serving the greengrocers of south London. Now it open for everyone and draws visitors from far and wide. The market is open 6 days a week…closed on Monday.
This is the biggest and best city market I have ever seen. The choice of food is astounding. There are stands serving food from all over the world. The fresh produce is excellent and there is a wonderful sense of fun along with all kinds of delicious things to eat.
Come for a walk through the market.
What a joy it would be to shop at the Borough Market on a regular basis…lucky locals!

There’s a feast for every sense in your body there! I can imagine the sounds and smells. We were with an English friend last night who was describing how her 97 year old mother used to make pork pies when she was a much younger mother – no fancy equipment, just know how which was generations old. The photo of the strawberries is glorious.
