Borough Market

Borough Market claims to be the oldest in London, established in 1014, when a market took shape at the foot of London Bridge. It has been in its current location, west of London Bridge, since 1756, when a charitable trust was established to run it on behalf of the community. In the 21st century it has developed to become a riot of colour, noise and food products. It is an astonishing place, mainly selling an enormous range of fresh produce – fruit, vegetables, fish, cheese, nuts – as well as nuts, speciality chocolate and drinks. At its fringes are a host of street food outlets, with dishes from all over the world. And all in the shadow of London Bridge’s railway arches and Southwark Cathedral.
