Borough Market

This is London’s longest and most adored market. With a history that can be traced back to the 13th century this place is popularly called the ‘artisan foodie market’. Through the various stalls, you’ll find a plethora of different food options from Spanish chorizo sarnies, French confit duck sandwiches, Ethiopian stews and scotch eggs (Wow, doesn’t all of this sound amazing?) The market has both domestic and international food manufactures from around the globe, offering their very best. On Monday and Tuesday, a smaller version of this market is available too!

The possibilities include Wok Boy, Shawarma Bar, Camden Tea Bar, Harvest Garden and Yorkshire Burrito. Not just this, it also has some oh-so-good dessert options like Dutch Pancakes, Hans and Gretel, and Sweet Kitty.

Now, this has to be one of my favourite food markets in London. Often called ‘Street Feast’ – the place offers dishes such as burgers, pizzas, kebabs, bao buns and ice-creams. It has two-levels, with lovely bars on each.
