I love this market and although this sounds silly its not only a market it is educational too. My son is a fussy eater and going around this market he got the opportunity to try new foods which means he is willing to eat new foods such as olive oil and cheese etc... (which we bought as he liked them... more

This is THE place to be in London any Friday from lunch through "happy hour". Arrive around 11 am, before the locals get there for lunch, when lines for the food booths get very long; however, the lines are also a very good indicator of where to find the best food! Spend the afternoon in the area (perhaps Vinopolis or... more

I read about this market in one of my books, but we weren't going to stop by intentionally because it was not necessarily near any of the attractions we wanted to see. However, we ended up taking a good walk from the Tower Bridge to the Millennium Bridge and stumbled upon the market. We saw a lot of great foods... more

We went on a Friday and enjoyed it so much, we just had to return again on the Saturday and as we were staying in the nearby London Bridge Hotel and it was just two minutes from the front door, we just had to enjoy again. It is like the best farmers market you have ever been too and then... more

A great selection of all kinds of foods, with tons of samples! Great for lunch or picking up unique souvenirs of olive oil, jam or preserves. I will definitely be returning every time I visit London! more

Most times when i'm in London, I try to get down to The Boro' just for the visual and sensory pleasures. You can buy some very strange food there. Had ostrich steaks once. Interesting flavour and very fat free. There is also a good wine and beer stall which does an amazing variety of foreign beers. After you have indulged... more

Fabulous, lively market. A great place to pick up lunch or snacks to take to a play at the Globe. Also just a great place to shop for produce, fish, bread and meat - a really wonderful selection of vendors- I highly recommend it just for the experience. more

Although it`s actually a while since I lasted visited the market I can still remember the day well. This place really will really stimulate your senses. Everything is brilliantly displayed with the quality of Produce in particular being outstanding. Most stallholders will also let you sample their wares. If you are into cooking going to one of the fish stalls... more
