Borough Market

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 from different cuisines and got to sample spices and cheeses. The only thing we were able to buy was some Turkish Delight which was tasty and sweet with different fruit flavors. If you're going to cook and need some ingredients, this would be a place to stop by.

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 some. It is so close to many of the local tourist attractions that this is a must do side show if you are in the area. It is only a few minutes from the London Dungeon and the tourist bus stops and is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Come and enjoy and whilst here, do pop in to the Market Porter to sample a real London "Boozer". Warm, friendly and welcoming and a plesant change from the tourist pubs that lack atmosphere and heart. This is a good way to spend a couple of hours. Not just the pub, the market as well!
