    Love this place so much. Avoid weekends if you want to stroll around the market peacefully. A bit expensive but good quality products.

    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.

    If 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.

    Food 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.

    The 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.

    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.

    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.

    The rock oysters that are shucked right in front of you are some of the best I've had straight from the estuary at Essex. So fat, sweet, and sublime. Also ended up picking up some truffle honey.

    Any 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!

    Pork 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.

    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.
