We were in London last week, not the first time (and not the last), but we've never been to the Borough Market before. As soon as you enter the market, an explosion of colors opens in front of you! Colors, tastes, people, a world full of life and great atmosphere! Whatever is the reason that brings you to London, don't... More

You will probably have to eat your lunch standing, and have to queue, but the food stalls are amazing.

This was the #1 thing I was looking forward to in London, and it did not disappoint. It was recommended to me that I get there around 9am, which in hindsight might have been a good idea, as I arrived around 10:30am and it was already PACKED. When I say packed, I mean it is seriously packed, and quite claustrophobic.... More

This is where wholesalers of fresh produce, organic food and food stalls serving anything from good old British food to international flavours can be found. If you come between Thurs to Sats... More

It's bigger than we expected, and was very very crowded, but we got a ton of free tasting samples, and even more free smelling samples. Everything looked and smelled fantastic! Pricier than your general street food, but when we finally settled on a Venison burger (cooked right in front of us) and a smoothie (mixed right in front of us)... More

The market is next to the London Bridge and opens Thursday to Saturday. The food available there is fantastic, I had a hard time picking what to eat. Most vendors even let you try their food. I especially loved the organic cider, and the sweets. I had an amazing bread-and-butter-pudding. You should make sure to get there early because it... More

Great place to visit even if you are not a dedicated foodie. Food and drink from around the world all under one roof. Free samples galore to taste before you buy. It can be a bit expensive but the quality is mostly very, very good. There are fish and fruit and veg you will have never seen before as well... More
