Food markets are my favorite spots to explore when I travel and visit new places. It is the best way to feel the authentic atmosphere of the locals and usually are not that much crowded with foreign visitors as the main tourist sights usually are. In this article I want to take you to Borough market in London,UK.
Borough market is one of the best food markets in Europe. Located on the South Bank near London Bridge, it lures all food lovers with its lavish variety of foods from vegetables through cheese, to meats and lots of seafood. All you need is your empty stomach with you!
We wanted to go early in the morning, because well:
Here's a tip : At such markets everything is sells fast , so usually by noon there is not much left, if you are late.
So make sure to check the opening time (in our case 10 a.m. ). As we woke up early and went out and about, we did not have our breakfast at the hotel, and oh my, thank god we didn't!
Besides the various product vendors, there are numerous street food options to choose from!
Like this Kappacasein Dairy food spot where you can eat the most delicious grilled cheese sandwich.
If you want to start your day with something healthier, though, you also have various of options. Like the colorful variety of fresh fruit and wheat juices.
Once you have curbed your hunger, you can calmly walk around and enjoy your tour around the market. Splendid colors in different shapes and sizes lure your eyes from every corner. You can hear the calling of the merchants, promoting their produce here and there, you can smell the delicious aroma swirling in the air... It's the feast of the senses.
If you enjoy not only eating, but also love to cook the food yourself, you will really be tempted from the lush greenery of the local veggies.
Local produce, so carefully and beautifully arranged, that it looks like an art for your senses, for your soul!
After you have walked in circle for an hour, you have probably felt your appetite coming back, but don't worry, there's so much to explore.
Like the fresh oysters and sea urchins waiting for you to discover them just a few steps away. Surrender your craving and try them- you'll see its been worth it!
Well, if you need something to accompany the taste, don't worry, wine and champagne just beside you.
There are also options for the fans of beer or some cider...
You might decide to cook some seafood that evening. Well there's plenty of a choice around.
And the time has come to search the desserts.
Well, it was time for us to go. But the 4 hours we spent at Borough market that day, were really really worth it. It's something different from the usual places you visit when travelling, but it really adds to the experience and trust me, you'll like it!
I have plenty of photos more to show you, so keep an eye of my blog for another portion of delicious colors!

❤️ Borough Market. Always try to visit when I’m in London. Great photos!
Phenomenal report, Lady Casper! That market is so clean, cute and organised. A huge contrast with the markets I've seen in Hong Kong. They're a world apart! 😂
Thanks!
Haha yeah I guess Asian markets are messy, but they really have a lot to offer :)
Yes, they do... and I think they don't know how to live without the mess. It's a confusion everywhere, from markets to parking spots. Ah ah ah! :-D
And have you ever dared to enter a Pachinko room? My mind almost exploded. How can they do it?
