During mine, and my fiancé Dean's, recent trip to London, we went to Borough Market to explore. I love food, I love it's diversity, it's power to bring people together, and the ever changing nature of it. Borough Market is the epitome of this.
Borough Market is London's oldest food market, and it's a beautiful, history steeped, visual treat.
The sights, smells and tastes that fill the market leave you overwhelmed and very hungry.
The stalls range from meat, to herbs, to fruit and veg, to baked goods. Whatever you want to buy, you will find. There are also several street food stalls from many different nations: Germany to Ethiopia, so you can not only buy the ingredients to cook the food, but savour it being made for you too.
The market is a cultural and exciting experience that I feel has something for everyone.
As a day out it can also be relatively cheap, or even free. Many stalls offer free samples, but I promise, if you taste, you'll want to buy. Our visit was based around needing lunch and we both had meals from the street food stalls, drinks from the smoothie stand, and sweet treats from a lovely baker, and spent around £15 each. So whatever your budget a lovely trip to make, even if only for the experience. Personally I could have spent all day here looking at everything over and over again but I would imagine around an hour or two would give you sufficient time to fully browse and eat.
