Borough Market
‘Borough Market is London’s most renowned food market; a source of exceptional British and international produce.’ - boroughmarket.org.uk
Borough market is based in Southwark and is a short distance from the London Bridge underground station. The market is extremely popular and that’s what I think makes it so wonderful. The hustle and bustle gives the place a great atmosphere especially at this time of year!
Along with fruit and vegetables there is also gorgeous cuts of meat that range from classic pork and beef to more unusual and rare animals such as wild boar and kangeroo. If you are very interested in trying the unusual cuts of meats but have no idea how to cook them then don’t fear there are stalls that provide freshly cooked burgers and other dishes made from these exotic animals for a great price! There is also great seafood and fish available at the market, freshly caught and you can even choose your own lobster if that is the kind of food you like. The huge pans of paella give off a beautiful aroma that wafts around the busy people and mixes with other numerous beautiful smells coming from the different stalls. The fragrances are captivating along with the beautiful colours and freshly baked pastries.
Along with the fish, meat and vegetables there is also amazing cakes, breads and cheeses. There is also vast amounts of pies and sausage rolls and other great pastry items. If you are thinking well this section isn't for me because you have a dietary requirement that restricts what cakes and sweet treats you can eat then don’t you worry, there is a great stall that provides theses delicious snacks totally gluten and wheat free and others that are dairy, egg and sugar free too! So now there is nothing much stopping you going to have a look around and maybe grab a delicious bite to eat!
If you do decide to go to this wonderful market I would love to know your thoughts and see any pictures you may have taken so tag me in any!
