JETMay 1, 2015My two go-tos are the Fish!Kitchen's Fish! Butty and the Scotchtails scotch eggs. But there's so much to see and try. Be prepared to eat!
Widley considered to be the best market in the country, and it is. One of my favourite places in the whole world, get there early to avoid crowds and get a cheeky sausage sandwich.
Bailey SherwinMay 16, 2018SO many good food options, I ate some delicious Thai and my sister had a vegan burger! Not very much seating so eating was hard but great atmosphere and food!
Can SensesJuly 1, 2018Very nice market place of London. Week-end mornings you can check lots of cool shops and small stands selling souvenirs and food and drinks. For dinner, choose sea food or asian
There's not much that isn't good here. If you want a good take on a British classic though, head to the stalls under the bridge and get yourself a warm scotch egg with sweet potato fries. Delicious.
Gracia AltaMay 6, 2018Food in overload. So don't forget to fill your bank. Luckily they gave out sample tastings so I could try before buying. Very crowded but that gives the place it's charm in my opinion.
Borough Olives do the best kalamata tapenade I've ever had. Try the 24 month matured comté and the blue cheese sausage at the French Comté stall. Lively atmosphere. A personal favourite.
Timothy BurdonApril 30, 2015Stalls to check out :British charcuterie, French comte Potted gameAlso get a flat white from Monmouth coffee and a raclet toastie from the raclet stand. It will change your life... Trust me
Korhan OnurFebruary 3, 2019A very good bazaar where you can also find some food from differrent countries. You can find everything, vegees, meat, fish and also you can try most of the delicious food there.
James FergusonApril 3, 2022A London institution with great selection of fresh food, fruit and veg. Many food stalls offering up tasty food from all over the world. Don’t miss Juma’s Iraqi food!
Dr Trish SandersMarch 28, 2019I love coming here as one of my favorite things to do in London ... love the rich diversity of food, organics, people and culture!
V HMarch 26, 2015Any chance I get to come to Borough Market leads me straight to the Bread Ahead Bakery stall in desire of a vanilla custard filled doughnut. They are the best fluffiest yet plumpest things!
Oliver KrizsanMay 6, 2014Don't you dare leaving the market without tasting all the delicious street food on offer: oysters, sandwiches, curry, hamburgers of all kinds, cakes in all flavours imaginable. Must see & taste!
Lydia BerkennouMay 7, 2016Love this place so much. Avoid weekends if you want to stroll around the market peacefully. A bit expensive but good quality products.
Ced GyselinckNovember 28, 2015This place will make you love meat if you don't, will make you want to taste cheese even if you hate it, will make you want to eat everything! And with a glass of wine it's even better...
Emily FallonSeptember 19, 2016So much great food with greater people. Stopped by Portena and had excellent empanadas. May or may not have tasted cheese at every stall. 🙌🏻
Laura LópezFebruary 22, 2015Yesterday, I went to Borough Market with a friend and we bought a box of strawberries for 1 pound, which can cost 3 quid at Tesco, and a massive white chocolate cookie for 2 pounds, I loved it!
Vivian FranchiniFebruary 6, 2014If you love pasta, I highly recommend La tua Pasta. Freshly made Italian pasta with tomate sauce or pesto sauce to choose from. Amazing taste and great value (around £5). Love Love it.
Polina VolikovaJuly 30, 2014Great place for food addicts!!! Must visit and ask to try cheese, ham and truffles. Take a glace of prosecco with fresh oysters😍😍😍👍👍👍
Look for the truffle stall, and ask if they have the truffle brie. Astonishingly good with a fresh French baguette from the next stall over.
Ines GonzálezMarch 14, 2015A lot of variety and kinds of food! Everything delicious! The ambient is so good and the place too. You could go and eat or buy something there and pass a nice time🍝🍔🍛🍱🍩
Dylan HenryApril 25, 2015The olive shop is to die for, wonderful staff recommend things and give samples. The market is a cheese lovers dream. But for an epic treat, grab yourself a chicken pad Thai. Yes yes oh yay.
Naina ShahaniAugust 29, 2018Incredible paella and calamari. There’s a stall that does delicious Turkish delight sweets, especially the rise & mint flavours
Andrew CAugust 24, 2018Smaller than expected, as its built under the highway/train tracks... plenty of cultured food shops, lots of raw meat/fish sellers too!! Conveniently located nearby the bankside walking area
Alana DixonApril 8, 2013Pork belly baguette blew my mind. Also, if you are looking to get your chimichurri fix in London, a la Argentina, this is the place to do it! Take-away pottles for about a fiver... winning.
Perine WeilandApril 1, 2017So many delicious treats. Hard to choose from. Ethiopian food, balkan food .. soul food. Yummy. Great place to shop delicatessen and rare spices. #donttouchthesaucissons though
Wonderful place for foodlovers and cooklovers. Fresh ingredients in an amazing variety. The Oliver's Bakery brownie is a special treat when you need a sweet treat.
Little Miss Coffee SnobNovember 10, 2018Borough Market has always been one of my favourite food markets in London. It’s definitely worth the visit if visiting London.
Maggie WalshDecember 1, 2015LOVE. Spice mountain is a fantastic and reasonably priced stall. Love the mushroom pate from the big mushroom place, and the tapenade and pesto from borough olives. :)
Best to arrive before noon and best the wall to wall crowds. Most of the farmers market crowd is on the east side. The prepared lunch vendors are on the west side.- HeyTripsterDecember 9, 2021This neighborhood by the London Bridge is a true foodie paradise. While you are eating hot meals from street vendors, you can browse the market stalls filled with fresh produce. Read more
Pam LinFebruary 27, 2018Best to go with a hungry stomach. The market is full of delicious foods to eat there and also take home to cook. Morning-Lunch is a good time to go
Ana FortunatoJanuary 10, 2015Love this market - bought there some cheeses and dry tomato and were absolutely good! It is a nice place even for a quick lunch or a glass of wine w/a friend.
Jordi LlobetMay 4, 2015One of the bests markets on town about food. The different mini-stores insde have a lot of interesting and good products. It's full of tourists but you can find a lot of good stuff in there.
Louis VuittonApril 5, 2012To experience a literal taste of Dickensian London, go to Borough Market. Explore stalls of local produce including wild game, one feels like Oliver Twist himself. Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer
New York HabitatJuly 17, 2012This is a great place to go on an empty stomach! There is an amazing selection of food ranging from delicious sandwiches and cheeses to wine! There are also plenty of samples for you :-)
sarah torresJuly 8, 2016amazing!!! get the doughnuts if you can... besides that there really isn't anything you can go wrong with. good food everywhere!
Elena E.May 5, 2015An explosion of colours, sounds, smells and flavours. You can try and buy this world and and another here. I was lucky enough to work here for a while and it's an experience I'll never forget.
Olena CodetJuly 25, 2013Bought: ginger, chilli, sea salt & caramel fudge; lama, kangaroo, camel&antelope meat burgers, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate cake & brownie, 4 bottles of excellent Italian white vinegar glaze. Nice?
Very Good ServiceDecember 31, 2016Some fantastic products. A food market in London with many stalls offering street food but service can depend on the mood of the traders...
After coming here over 15 years, I recommend the Northfields Salt Beef Mini Magoos granola, Gumi cheeses, the fruit and veg from Teds Vegs and chocolate from Rabot Estate.
Justin ChanMarch 16, 2016There's Brick Lane salted beef here! The stall has two queues (the other being falafel), so make sure you're in the right one!
Kay TeoJanuary 5, 2018Unique drunken cheese stall, cheese washed/aged with different types of alcohol - red wine, gin, sparkling, etc.
AnnetteOctober 19, 2014Visit the Comptoir Gourmand stall for irresistible traditional French patisserie. Hand made treats. Tarts from £2.90 / Tray of Macaroons for £5
After few visits, I got my eating itinerary worked out :) raw scallops, clams & oysters, fresh juice, grilled scallops with bacon strips, chorizo sandwich and finished it off with cheese (samples)!
Yasmina MikouJanuary 4, 2016Have some olives and cheese bread and don't forget the fresh home made pasta on boxes for lunch ! Ricotta spinach raviolis with tomato sauce and parmesan on top 👌🏼
Good things never stay a secret and Borough market just keeps on expanding to fit all the tourists in. Try the prawn pad thai. Walker's Mayfield cheese does not disappoint.
AleksandraJuly 9, 2017Fish fingers sandwich from fish! and still apple cider is a perfect match for a quick lunch, also pick some local cheeses and fresh fruits for dessert- Naser Al AnaziOctober 16, 2021Best food shopping place but food-wise is less than expected. Don't miss going behind the anchor.. a nice spot to rest your feet and view the river.
Not only is this is a market, you also get great food. Get some oysters and a glass of bubbly. Walk around there's fish & chips too. Prepare your stomach!
