LONDON’S LARDER
Borough Market has been feeding the city’s people for centuries. And now it’s a must-see destination for locals and tourists alike
Baskets brimming with the freshest British strawberries, giant truckles of nutty French cheese, delicate ribbons of Italian hams and brightly coloured arrays of fragrant Middle Eastern spice… Set at the southern foot of London Bridge, a few steps from the River Thames, Borough Market is an international cornucopia of flavours and aromas with a very London heart.
HISTORY
Borough Market’s story stretches back over a thousand years, making it one of London’s oldest trading hubs. The food market of Southwark has fed generations of Britons – from medieval Londoners to Queen Elizabeth II, and even the fictional Bridget Jones, whose 2001 film debut placed her in a flat above the Globe Tavern.
