Borough Market

Borough Market is world renowned as London's oldest market. A market has stood on the site close to the Southbank for almost two thousand years, the current site has housed this amazing food market for 250 years and the architecture is almost as impressive as the fine array of goods on sale.

As one of the UK's most important retailers for fine foods, you can expect something special from Borough Market, whether it be Somerset cider you are after, truffles or simply a fantastic sausage sandwich you will find it here, with so much on offer the only problem is deciding what eat! Things can get a bit pricey but there are always lots of free tasters up for grabs so make the most of them.

The market can at times be difficult to negotiate but this is at time a good opportunity to explore and discover the unexpected. There are four main areas to the market, Crown Square, The Green Market, The Jubilee Market and the various shops, café, restaurants and pubs surrounding the periphery of the market.

In addition to all the stalls there are also regular special themed events, tasting sessions, Christmas fairs and lots more, keep an eye out for all the goings on at the official website.

The market is open Thursday from 11am to 5pm, Fridays 12pm to 6pm and Saturdays from 9am to 4pm. The market can get very busy especially on Saturdays so to avoid the crush get there early!!!
