In existence since Roman times, Borough Market is London’s oldest food market and has occupied its present site for 250 years. Whilst wholesale business is conducted between 2am-8am during the week, the market is only open to the public on Friday afternoons and Saturdays. The market sells fresh organic vegetables and fruits, meats and fresh fish for cooking at home, but you can also buy a huge range of prepared meats in the form of pies and pâtés as well as cheeses, anti-pasti, cakes, chocolates and much more. To try the fish from the market freshly prepared whilst vendors and buyers bustle around you, you can eat lunch at Fish! a seafood restaurant housed in a greenhouse like building right in the centre of the market. However, the best way to experience the food of the market is to join the hoards of city workers who flee the cardboard sandwiches of Prêt à Manger on friday lunchtimes, and cross London Bridge to feast on the freshly barbequed wild boar and rocket sandwiches, the humungous salt beef rolls or even the spicy tacos and fajitas brimming with fresh juicy salsa, that the market has to offer.
