Organic Food London

Farmers' Markets in London

Farmers' Markets are a great place to find fresh, seasonal produce in London. Although not all stalls or farmers' markets are organic, the emphasis on sourcing locally from smaller farms means the food has a lower carbon footprint, plus you benefit from a more personal approach. Three Central London farmers' markets to try include: 

• Borough Market One of the largest food markets in the city, Borough Market is a gourmet's paradise, offering top quality produce and artisan foods from all over Britain and the continent.

• Berwick Street Market This Soho institution has been selling fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, herbs and cheese since 1840. The market traders still shout their wares and offer discounts late in the afternoon.

• Spitalfields Organic Food Market features a Fine Foods Market, a mix of stalls and shops with a strong organic bias where you can sample everything from rare meats to Sardinian speciality foods. The fully-covered food market has over 20 traders with a reputation for quality food.See Also:
