Borough Market: London's must-visit market

Borough Market is one of London's oldest and largest food markets, located at 8 Southwark Street in Southwark. There are over 100 delicatessens, butchers, fishmongers and cheese shops selling fresh produce, meats, artisan delicacies and more. This is not only a good place for local residents to shop, but also an ideal place for tourists to taste British cuisine. The market dates back to 1014 AD and has been located at its current location since 1756. The market’s mission is to demonstrate that food can be prepared and sold in better ways, as well as to enhance the enjoyment of food. The market is open six days a week and closed on Mondays, but is especially busy on weekends. The market is divided into three main areas: Three Kings Square (large producers and traders), Green Market (small specialist producers) and Borough Market Kitchen (street food traders).
