The market opens at 9am on a Saturday so we were there for opening time and made straight for Maria's Market Cafe for a brilliant and very reasonable cooked breakfast. Suitably fortified we then strolled round the market for an hour or so. The traders were very happy to offer samples. Some of the speciality food was a bit pricey... more

This isn't so much of a travel tip because my office is actually next door to Borough Market so I get to visit it almost every day, but I wanted to say that if you are visiting London, it is well worth including on the itinerary for a Friday or Saturday (when it's open). The range of very high quality... more

For those of us who appreciate a wide variety of foods, there is no better way to spend a few hours than strolling the Borough Market. The stunning arrays of fruits, vegetables and cheeses gets your mouth watering and then you are assaulting by the amazing aromas coming from the breads, quiches, soups and sandwiches many vendors have to offer.... more

After reading reviews of the market and being a huge fan of anything "market" I had to make this a stop. Mark and I headed out on a Thursday in the afternoon so we were able to catch a late lunch at the Market Porter (vegetarian options available). They also obtain most of their ingredients from the market. After lunch... more

Possibly Borough Market is my favorite gourmet pick in London. The best ones are the olives and artichoke hearts, simply fantastic. Whatsmore, on many stands they´ll give you tasters of whatever they´re selling. Even though many are saying that it´s open only on Fridays and Sats, I´ve just returned from London and I went to the market 3 times: on... more

Easy to find get off at London Bridge and go down steps by Southwalk Cathedral and its amazing find. Only small but packed to brim with different fresh produce, from variety of countries including home grown. We got there Saturday afternoon and packed. Lots of stalls offering hot foods and we decided to have our lunch there eating out side... more

I adore Borough Market. This was my first London experience..coming straight from the airport, we just got off the tube at "London Bridge" station, tired and having jet lag. We had no idea where we were..we just started walking into the market..and VOILA ! Refreshed, awed, shocked, amazed. It was Friday morning and there were sausages and pates and cheese... more

For a delightful change of pace from the museums and galleries of London, you must take time on a Saturday morning to make a visit to Borough Market. So much to see and sample. It is not easy to decide from among the many, wonderful choices, but do pick a few items to make up a tasty lunch. Or just... more

I love Borough Market on a Saturday. True, it can get busy and the food is quite pricey, but it's a great way to while away a morning. There are lots of samples on offer (try the Green Market for this) and you can't beat eating a freshly made lunch on the grass outside of Southwark Cathedral. There are also... more
