I went on a Saturday. After some time the market started to get packed with people. There is a great variety of food on offer. I really had difficulties on trying things. Obviously you can't have everything. So I went for a kangoroo burger and some goat milk ice cream. So, going once to that market will not be enough.... More

It's really a good market with decent prices and a lot of very fresh food. But trying out those fresh oysters is the highlight of our visit. We simply couldn't stop - made another walking round and took more and more. Remember the opening days: Thu-Sat, closed on all other days More

The Borough Market has a vast range of food stalls, each selling delicious and interesting produce. We wanted to eat everything, and there was no end to the variety of foods! On the downside, the stalls are very expensive and the market is extremely busy. More

I've been around and I've been to sooooo many markets around the world. This place is top notch and there isn't one single chain store in the bunch of vendors. I have a list of favortites, but mind you've I've been to the market quite a few times! I still have so much to explore there! <b>KAPPACASEIN If there is... More

All the different food stalls and places to eat make this a worthwhile visit. If your going to cook a meal you can buy terrific local ingredients like meats, cheeses, fruit and vegetables etc. It can get quite crowded on Saturday. Be sure to stop by Monmouth Coffee for the best coffee in London and enjoy watching the crowd pass... More

Having time to kill before attending Vinopolis we wandered around soaking up the sights, sounds and smells of the wide variety of the not so readily available types of food on offer. We sampled some of the food to stop the salivating getting too bad. It is a fun place to wander around but does tend to get crowded and... More

Good way to pass a few hours in the afternoon, tasting samples and admiring the goods. Some nice things to bring back home as well. Fun location surrounded by bars and restaurants to check out once the market closes. More
