Borough Market

NileGuide Expert tip:

Thursdays are the best days to go and remember on any day, the earlier, the less crowded

Description:

• For more than 250 years Borough Market has been London's top food market. Nowadays it trades in fine foods in a buzzing labyrinthine hodgepodge of stalls underneath the railway viaduct. This is the best place in the capital, if not the country, to sample the widest range of British delicacies, as well as lots of worldwide exotic tastes, all under one roof. It's not cheap but makes a perfect picnic stop before you head off to one of London's parks. Some of the capital's best restaurants, cafés and bars, as well as permanent food shops also line the market so it's worth a visit even when the market is closed. Most of the stalls will make your mouth water but we particularly like Monmouth Coffee and Neil's Yard Dairy. Thursdays: 11am - 5pm Fridays: 12 noon - 6pm Saturdays: 8am - 5pm
