Top places to see in London - Borough Market
London’s oldest food market is the Borough Market, it is about a thousand years old, currently it is owned by a charitable trust and a board of volunteers. The market has very good and knowledgeable farmers who have their best produce to offer, the sea food stalls boast how their fish, prawns and crabs are not bought from fishing trailers but individually caught by hand, they also swear that the fish is fresh right out of the sea. Fresh bakers from around London have their best baked cakes and bread to offer. The easiest and the right way is to walk around the market, the sounds, smell and people will definitely give you a nostalgia and a sense of profound feeling of being in London in the 16th century, although the food has evolved from traditional pies to a more continental cuisine. Perhaps the best time to visit the market is either on a Saturday or a Sunday, preferably early as it gets crowded after 12 noon. You can also book a guided tour if you have plenty of time to spare. The market is not only for shopping but hosts events throughout the year led by famous chef’s, food writers and so on. Hints join the Cookbook club to know more. Do not forget to visit: Turnips (seasonal fruits) Spice Mountain (for spices) Oliver’s Bakery/Bread Ahead Bakery/ Flour Station (bread, cakes and sweets) Neal’s Yard diary/Goat milk (for cheese) Monmouth Coffee company (as the name gives it away) Borough Market, 8 Southwark Street, SE1 1TL. Open Monday-Thursday 10am-5pm; Friday 10am-6pm; Saturday 8am-5pm. Limited market Monday-Tuesday; full market Wednesday-Saturday.
