Borough Market
London's oldest and most famous food market, with over a hundred stalls under iron-framed canopies, serving grilled cheese sandwiches, oysters, doughnuts and street food from around the world.
Borough Market sits south of London Bridge. Its history dates back to the 13th century, making it London's oldest and most famous food market, with more than a hundred stalls under Victorian iron-framed canopies. Must-tries include the grilled cheese sandwiches and raclette potatoes from Kappacasein, the cream doughnuts from Bread Ahead and the oysters from Richard Haward's. The handmade pasta at Padella draws long queues nearby. The market has also appeared in Bridget Jones's Diary and Harry Potter. Most stalls are open Wednesday to Saturday, while only some are open on Monday and Tuesday. Lunchtime is extremely crowded, so aim to visit before 11:00 or after 14:00. London Bridge station is a 2-minute walk away.
