    Popularity is up, but so are the crowds

    We visited a couple of years ago at the same time of the year. It was popular then, but the crowds were manageable. You could walk through leisurely, sample some of the items and have a relaxing day. This time there were people pushing their...More

From sausages on sticks, confectionery, fresh fish, amazing fruit & veg through to unusual meats such as camel and some incredible cheeses. Not cheap but so...More

    Worth a visit

    I love Borough Market but I am often put off by all the tourists. We went yesterday and all the charm was still there. Definitely worth fighting the crowds for some yummy treats.

    Southwark
    Even before the arrival of the instantly iconic Shard,
    the riverside scene in Southwark had moved well beyond
    any up-and-coming phase of development. For quite some
    time, locals and out-of-towners alike have loved
    browsing the boutiques of Bermondsey High Street,
    foraging through the bounteous stalls at centuries old
    foodie haven Borough Market, and flocking to the banks
    of the Thames to enjoy some of Britain's biggest

    We found a place to sit but had to stand for a while before seats were free. There are free cash machines just outside the market. We used one just in case it was cash only but didn’t even check.
