Borough Market

On the Saturday I went to Borough Market I died and found myself in gluttonous heaven. I was nearly overwhelmed with all of the delicious sights and smells I was surrounded by. Seriously– I ended up eating oh so much.
I started by tasting some fig jam on a crisp wth cheese and clearly– I had to buy a pot of the jam. After walking in circles (about three times) I finally decided to start with a burger– but not just any burger– A venison burger with Bacon Jam, Gouda Cheese and Caramelized Red Onion (doesn’t that sound heavenly? I know). Fortunately, Lozza (my husband) was there to help me eat the bits I couldn’t finish (I had to pace myself). Next I got a sample (which was quite large) of Malaysian Chicken Curry (so good!) the sample was enough to satisfy me so I didn’t place an order (I still had a lot of ground to cover).
Next up was oil– starting with truffle– I tried both a black and white truffle oil (The white truffle oil was near perfection), following was an olive oil infused with Cayenne pepper which I found quite nice (however Lozza thought it too spicy).
After walking for a bit more I came across a Prosecco Spritzer– Prosecco, Lemonade, Mint & Peach Liqueur. That spritzer was so lovely– refreshing and not too sweet! Easily my favourite drink of that weekend (I still get excited thinking about it).
My husband and I were very excited to see a stall selling Exotic meat– and they had kebabs! Naturally, we ordered one (to share). On the kebab were ostrich, crocodile and zebra. My personal favourite of the three was the Zebra and Lozza’s was the crocodile (the texture was a bit too reminiscent of tuna for me, mildly fishy).
Pies, pies, pies! Next up– PIES! At this point I was getting a bit full but– I cannot resist a good pie. I chose the Chicken and Leek to take home. That choice was very difficult– they all looked very delicious. (The chicken leek pie was very very VERY good by the way {we had it for a midnight snack/​dinner that very night})
After thinking I could fit no more I came across handmade pasta. After browsing the menu of the day on the blackboard I decided on Squid ink Tortellini with Pesto. Yum! Pasta cooked to perfection (Blackish due to the squid ink), Pesto fresh as ever, shaved Parmesan on top– my tastebuds were in love.
We walked around a bit more and found fudge! Lozza has a weakness for fudge– we purchased some to take home.
As we were wrapping up our Borough Market Escapade I found Duck Confit and white wine sangria. We ordered one of each. The duck confit was so so so good, crisp and atop a bed of frisée. The white wine sangria was also very good (but nothing compared to the aforementioned spritzer).
Finally, as I was walking towards the exit I spotted a florist. I found the cutest mini decorative orange tree and had to purchase it. A lovely living momento of my gluttonous, glorious, heavenly Saturday at Borough Market

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
It was the best of times because I’ve dreamed of visiting the Borough Market for years and finally made it here. It was the worst of times because we could only visit on a Wednesday and Kappacasian was closed. My hope of feasting on what so many of my friends have deemed the best grilled cheese sandwich in the world, crushed in an instant. But alas, we did try lots of other goodies.
I started with a Turkish coffee because I need my coffee in the morning and the gentleman working was very friendly. It was piping hot so I’d suggest sitting down and enjoying before walking around to avoid spilling all over yourself like I may or may not have done. There were seats right in front of the shop that he said we could sit in.
From there, it was time to decide what to eat. The aroma wafting from the Ethiopian stand was too hard to resist (I LOVE Ethiopian food). I ended up with a bowl of vegetarian goodness with soft injera to soak up all the juices. My fiancé bought a German bratwurst, and we also grabbed an Italian deli sandwich for our plane ride later that day. To sip, I opted for a fresh mango orange juice, which was about the only «breakfasty» thing we had that morning. Essentially, you can travel the world in this one food market!
Overall, Borough Market was definitely a spot I could see myself returning to time and time again. We had to hit it up early in the morning due to our travel plans so it was nice and empty, but I’d probably come back for lunch next time and NOT on a Wednesday so that Kappacasian will definitely be around.

The best place to eat in LOndon. Whatever you want to eat: oysters. burgers, hogs, cakes, pies.

I have nothing to add that hasn’t been said. This place is awesome. It is just a beautiful place with an amazing selection of foods. There are stalls selling cheese, salami, meats, hot food, fruits, veg, you name it. Oh, and how could I forgot bread and pastries.
It’s worth a visit. We got there at about 9 am on a Saturday and people were setting up and getting things ready for the day. It wasn’t very busy, and there was tons of space for our fairly large stroller to navigate around the stalls.
Enjoy the samples!

Borough Market was our first excursion in London, and boy was it a slap in the face! It was completely overwhelming in a good way.
Borough Market is the best outdoor market I have ever been to so far. It has amazing variety and is a mix between food fair, gourmet food market, farmer’s market, and flea market.
It’s where you go if you want to learn about cheese, what time truffles are delivered daily and from where, charcuterie, all types of bread, sample chocolates from around the world, as well as cleanse your body with fresh pressed juice. There might be something from every country around the world from Spanish paella and Turkish delight to Ethiopian food and Indian samosas.
During our visit we tried:
–Garlic prawn wrap
–Spinach and Cheese Balkan Bureka
–British chocolate
–Mushy Peas
–Beefsteak, smoked bacon, and craft ale meatpie
The choices are endless. There are no wrong choices!

Borough Market was probably my favorite landmark in London, and we went twice during our four night stay. I’m not the kind of person who does well in large crowds, and our visit on a Saturday was a little intense for me. I stuck mostly to the outskirts of the market, and picked up a chorizo roll with roasted red peppers and rocket (translation: arugula) from Brindisa. It was the perfect little bite to chase down with a pint from The Market Porter, an incredible pub located diagonally across from the Brindisa stall, on the edge of Borough Market.
Our next visit on a Monday was a lot more low-​key. Unfortunately, less vendors were open that day. We sampled our way around the market and then ended up at a nearby wine bar for a cheese plate and bottle of red.
Planning a trip to London? Do not miss Borough Market. It’s the best outdoor market in existence, period.

Borough Market is one of those places you take your friends/​family to when they visit London.
It’s an amazing oasis of food. They’ve got large produce stands selling produce I’ve never even seen before, beautiful little shops with fresh bread, cheese, meat, fish, ev-​ry-​thing. Towards the back are the stalls that have food they’re making like Swiss Raclette, Vegan Burgers, Indian wraps… you name it, they’ve got something like it or better.
It’s right next to the tube station and there are also proper restaurants all around, and lovely shops too! So many options! Ones gotta spend days to actually find all the hidden treasures.
I think they’re closed Sunday… right?

It’s a great place to go but beware of the crowds during weekends!
It can be even difficult to walk — I suggest going when it is not very crowded.
Otherwise you can find great food!

I wish we had something like this in the United States. Amazing place with lots of amazing choices in food, meat, produce, and more!
It’s nice to even just browse here and look at the selection of massive wheels of cheese, or smell the truffles. I miss it!
You can even come on a rainy day! The majority of the market is covered and there is some seating if you decide to eat, although space is limited. Nevertheless, I would absolutely recommend a trip here!

Spend some time at this market! It is so fun. Less crowded on weekdays, but even on the weekend when it is packed, it is still so fun. BRING CASH. So many good food vendors and so many desserts to ooh and ahh over. I got the duck confit wrap, wow was it amazing. Also tried loads of other foods here of course.

Spoilt for choice here!
Borough market is just by London Bridge station, there’s many stalls selling fresh fruits, cheese, meat, spices etc…
There’s also loads of stalls selling hot food, fruit juices and sweet treats. At such a convenient place, I often come here for lunch. The prices aren’t cheap since it is a tourist hotspot and it’s usually packed at lunch time and weekends. The good thing is you can try several different types of food if you go with a group of friends or family.
Some of my favourites at the market includes the Scotchtails scotch eggs and sweet potato fries, Ethiopian food stall, the fried calamari, duck confit roll and the Breadahead doughnuts.

Borough Market is definitely a must for tourists. Being the foodie that I am, I knew I wasn’t leaving central London without stopping by so I made it a point to go on a Saturday afternoon since I was leaving Sunday night and it’s closed on Sundays. Omg, it was sooo crowded, which I guess is part of the experience? I don’t know… it sort of detracted from the experience for me. At one point, I got too lazy to go back to a food stall I wanted to buy from because it was nearly impossible to get through. People just sort of stand around since there’s really no place to sit and eat, which only adds to the foot traffic. Apparently, Saturday afternoon is the worst time to go. Oops!
Anyways, lots to choose from, depending on what you’re in the mood for. You can walk around and drink too. The popular food items seemed to be a duck confit sandwich, Monmouth coffee, sandwiches from Roast, breads/​pastries from Bread Ahead, and some oyster place. Fyi, food isn’t cheap. The sandwiches will run you about £5−7, which is about $ 10, and the breads and pastries ranged from £2−4, but it’s London. Everything seems to be pricier there. Overall, definitely check it out. It’s a good place to grab lunch before you continue sightseeing (Tower Bridge is just a short walk away!).

Borough market is one of my favorite in the area. Not as touristy, plenty of fresh produce, crafts, and food stalls to shop around. One of my favorite is the oyster space, their medium is basically large in my eyes, and their store sauce is on point.

Certes le «Borough Market «n’est pas une grande découverte et reste un lieu grandement fréquenté par les touristes comme un peu «la Boqueria «de Barcelone, cependant cela reste l’un des plus grands marchés alimentaires de la ville qui s’étend sous et autour des arches du chemin de fer à de la station London Bridge. On y trouvera de magnifiques produits, des stands de nourriture et également des aliments artisanaux de toute la Grande-​Bretagne et d’Europe. Tout amateur de marchés et cuisine se doit de visiter au moins une fois cet endroit.
Métro London Bridge, on traverse la rue, descend quelques marches et vous voilà arrivé dans un passage qui vous amèné au marché.
On trouvera ici a peu près tout ce que l’on peut s’imaginer et pour des Suisses, se trouver face à un stand qui sert tôt le matin de la raclette peut évidemment étonner plus d’un.
Le choix des stands est absolument phénoménal et se restaurer ici reste une éventuelle possibilité comme par exemple prendre quelques pâtisseries comme ici avec ces plaques de gâteaux ou de flancs qui semblent être des plus appétissants.
Un peu plus loin dans un autre registre des fromages italiens.
Les amateurs de viandes seront émerveillés par le choix de bœufs mais surtout les pièces sont vraiment rassies. Un stand où l’on trouvera le rare bœuf de Galloway, une race écossaise robuste qui fait partie des plus anciennes au monde, viande savoureuse et maigre.
Les poissons principalement du Sussex au sud de Londres et au bord de la Manche, avec des turbots, soles, rougets, raies, coquilles Saint-​Jacques et Saint Pierre.
Un magnifique stand de pains avec diverses compositions, au levain, au seigle noir, au malt et autres farines.
Dans une autre partie de ce marché vous vous trouverez sous une belle structure métallique de couleur verte avec des vitres pour laisser passer la lumière.
Un stand de champignons qui propose des boites mélangées.
Les mousserons sont ici absolument magnifiques.
Quelques champignons plutôt inhabituels comme les huitres jaunes.
En cette saison les asperges vertes provenant du Royaume-​Uni.
Des légumes de première fraicheur et bio.
Une surprenante catégorie de brocolis de couleur violette.
Les nombreuses boucheries proposent des découpes sur place et non pas que de la vente en pré-​emballé.
De l’entrecôte.
Des stands de crustacés et poissons fumés.
Un étonnant étalage de produit de chasse avec une magnifique sélection.
Saucisses à base de pigeon.
Saucisses au sanglier et pomme, bacon de sanglier, boudins, magrets et cuisses de canard.
Médaillons de chevreuil de Lakeland, cuissots de cerf des Highlands parmi tant d’autres pièces.
Autre stand de poissons.
Ici la vente sous-​vide de morceaux de bœuf.
Un endroit où vous pourrez même étonnement acheter des truffes d’Italie.
Différentes échoppes qui vendent de manière plutôt artistiques fromages et autres produits.
Toujours de très beaux légumes.
Stand de plantes et fleurs.
Foie gras et terrines.
Né pas oublier les fameux «pie «, tourtes farcies que l’on doit ensuite r échauffer.
Autre spécialité, le «scotch egg «composé d’un œuf dur au cœur d’une boule de garniture de chair à saucisse, panée et frite.
Un autre stand qui vend des «pie «ici avec bœuf bourguignon ou bœuf au Stilton et même aux rognons.
Quelques commerces plus structurés et qui sont ici de manière permanente.
Un stand où l’on peut prendre un verre de délicieux cidre chaud parfumé aux épices.
Situé sur la rive sud de la Tamise, ce Borough Market est un lieu incontournable de Londres. C’est l’endroit idéal pour un repas sur le pouce entre quelques visites… un marché très ancien puisque son existence remonte au XVIIIème siècle qu’il né faut pas oublier de visiter au moins une fois.

Another must do in London.
A sprawling Market split down the middle by a road. One one side a vegetable and food market to purchase and take home to create your meal at home. On the other side a food market to purchase food to eat then and there.
The smells are delightful. The visual experience of colour, and variety of different foods is not to be underestimated.
A downside (and why this place doesn’t get 5 stars) is the wait. There is always a queue and sometimes you can be confused about where the queue starts and what the queue is for. I have on occasion queued up for something only to find I’ve ended up and the stall next door.
If you have time to try some of London street food then this is well worth a visit.

O Borough Market é demais! é um lugar que você deve visitar em Londres, várias barquinhas com comidas diferentes.
Eu queria comer o Bolovo, ou seja, o scotish egg, mas acabei indo the pulled pork sandwich, adorei também, estava ótimo!
Há muitas opções. Acabei indo na 2a feiras e estavam algumas fechadas mas o movimento é grande, tem muitas opções, escolhe com calma e se puder compartilhe pra comer coisas diferentes =)

It’s small but you can get lost here for about an hour or so eating all the food you can possibly find. From the paella near the stairs to the steaks in a restaurant in the middle of the market. My fav are the Turkish delights, expensive for what they are but taste great. Try the many teas on offer as well as refreshing and hydrating yourself with freshly squeezed juices.

I love love love Borough Market! I used to work in the area and as a treat, my colleagues and I would go once a week and treat ourselves to lunch from one of the stalls and bring back some
cakes or baklava for the rest of the team.
On a weekend it is very busy, however don’t let that put you off — it’s still worth a visit! Especially if you happen to be in the area!

If London’s food scene had an epicenter, Borough Market would be it! Filled to the brim with stands carrying local produce, speciality vendors and artisanal goods, the market is a foodie’s paradise. The small maze like set-​up leads you from the ‘interior’ wholesale market with established vendors to the ‘outdoor’ carnival of food stands where international fare is displayed at it’s best.
You’ll have a tough time deciding what to have because everything looks amazing — from slow-​roasted pulled pork sandwiches and pad thai to Indian curry and French patisseries.
No trip to London would be complete without stopping here — it’s a perfect place to spend part of the afternoon for lunch! If you have the time, it’s definitely worth more than one trip!

Great place to walk around and find some tasty food! The food stands are pretty cheap (About £6−10 per item depending on what you order). I got some Pad Thai from a stand for £6 and I highly recommend eating there! There are also other stores with freshly squeezed juices, cheese, seafood and meat– but they seemed a bit pricier. Overall, Borough Market is a great place to swing by if you have any time/​are in the area!

Excellent historical food market featuring produce from all over the world. The quality of the produce and food here is really great. You must try it yourself to believe it. But having said that many items are cheaper elsewhere or online.
The market attracts many tourists and generally gets very busy at lunchtime.
I particularly love the fresh Game Meats and the large Seafood selections on offer.
There are plenty of Bakeries, Cafés, Global Street Food Stalls, well regarded Restaurants and Bars here too. Making it a great place for lunch or for an after work get together. The adjacent streets have some great boutique shops, wine tasting venues and independently owned food retailers, and the South Bank and the Hayes Galleria are only a short walk away.
However, please be warned that certain exotic foods, such as Zebra meat, Crocodile meat, Kangaroo meat or hanging dead Game birds, may offend some people. But they all tasted great to me!

Love love love.
Cheese, so much cheese.
But it’s more than cheese. Yummy food abounds here at Borough Market.
The first part we wandered around seemed to be food to eat on the spot. I sampled a sausage, but the highlight was the scotch egg with sweet potato fries from a stand called Scotchtails.
The second section, under the more permanent structure, seemed to be more cheese and artisan groceries. It all looked fantastic.
If we didn’t have some plans to meet people for some schnitzel, I would have eaten more here. And cheese.
I’ll definitely be back.

If you visit London, this is a must go place. The market is huge, next to the London Bridge subway station. There are many food stalls & prices are very inexpensive. I had the Shrimp Wrap; delish for £5 .lots of shrimp in the wrap. There are produce stalls that you can get done fresh produce or fruits. After you have eaten at the market, you can visit the Shard which is just a stone throw away! Great place for foodies !!!

One of my favorite spots in London, there are so many vendors to choose from, lots of food samples and everything is really fresh. I got sandwiches to share with my friends and they were good. Oysters are also a must! They’re so fresh! It’s pretty crowded and the lines are quite long for some places but it’s worth checking out if you’re in the area! Make sure you bring extra cash!

Endroit qui devrait figurer au patrimoine de l’Unesco tellement:
–c’est beau
–convivial
–multi-​culturel, l’accueil est top, les rencontres fortuites itoo.
–beau (déjà dit?)
–avec des endroits pour se poser (pubs, streetfood extraordinaire, et de toutes les régions du globe, donc pour tous les gouts, marché de dingo, bio ou vegan, restaurants de qualité, fruits de mer du Sussex, etc)
Un des plus beaux endroits de la perfide Albion, sans Aucun doute.
J’y retourne !

Oh my. I love love love this place. It’s a food lover’s happy place. :) They must have 1,000 cheeses. The pulled pork sandwich was absolutely delicious.
Too bad I didn’t have a chance to go there until hours before my flight back to the U.S. I ended up giving half of my cheese to the Über driver, after finally coming to terms with the fact that I simply couldn’t finish it all before U.S. customs. :D

If you’re visiting London, you have to check out Borough Market. You could spend hours here just looking at everything they have for sale and trying the different food/​drink items. I wanted to try everything here but unfortunately I had limited stomach space. I’d recommend shopping around/​perusing the different options before purchasing anything so that you get the best deal. Paella, macarons, kangaroo burgers… you will not be disappointed by this market.

I LLOOVVVEEE the borough market!
It’s not the biggest market. Size wise it is a lot smaller than Camden market, but hey it certainly felt a bit classier and the food choices seem a bit more special (there’s also a super awesome coffee place there, separate review)!
Given its kinda more central and slightly cooler, obviously the prices reflect that (north) as well; but hey it is certainly a great weekend walk around.
Loved the scotch eggs, the burgers, the coffee, … the chocolate, the wine, the pastries… the cheese, the hot dogs there!

An Iconic must visit location in London, this market has been here for years and it’s reputation is well reserved.
It’s also packed with people, most of whom are there just too look around. Go early pick up what you need (a lot of it you don’t but will pick up anyway) grab a bite to eat (I recommend the roast pork baguette from the road separating the two main markets) and take a look around.
Utobeer has some great beers from around the world although they sell out of Rogue Ales far too quickly (just stock more guys!) and there are plenty of bites to eat available to purchase as the raw meat stalls will also cook up some of their produce to eat there and then.
Personally I head here very early and am gone before the crowds arrive, easy enough to get to on the Northern Line. Bring shopping bags and cash and you should be fine (those cash machines at the banks outside run out quickly).
Top tip, don’t go to Borough Station, head to London Bridge Station, Borough station is nowhere near the market!

caught up with an ex colleague here. She said costa coffee is awful so I got her a latte and myself a skim mocha extra hot from Monmouth coffee. The guy seemed cranky and I got a tepid room temperature coffee that would have been fantastic if it was hot though, but at least he took my credit card as payment.
We then walked around. I tried some fig cake and truffle cheese from the Croatian fig shop. I tried some blue cheese from a cheese shop, some truffle oil with bread (you can smell the truffles here), KS got me a salted caramel doughnut from bread ahead and she got herself a cheese stick. Their artisan loaves looked delicious.
The salted caramel doughnut had a small crunchy caramel honeycomb like topping. Simply scrumptious. You then bite into the soft icing sugar dusted doughnut and your tongue meets this gooey salted caramel mousse goodness that is throughout the doughnut. I coudn’t stop myself from devouring the doughnut until the very last bite and the salted caramel cream is till the very end. The best doughnut I’ve ever had. Didn’t want to share.
Also tried some choc chip cookie and indulgent brownie from the sweets stalls. I was too full from brekkie and mocha but the Egyptian food (some fried noodles looking type of thing — like medusas head), scotch fillet egg with sweet potato fries, and the hot dog stall that had massive queues looked über tempting. Guess ill have to come back to London. London is really a foodie paradise and über multicultural.

Sehr leckere Dinge gibt es hier zu kaufen, sowohl an den Marktständen, wie auch draußen bei den Essensständen. Ein Besuch lohnt sich jedenfalls, frische Waren, freundliche Verkäufer und tolle Speisenden!

Estupendo mercado que combina puestos de frutas, pescados y carne con puestos de comida callejera, pan y dulces. ¡Un must tanto si vives como si visitas Londres!
El sandwich de duck confit está simplemente ESPECTACULAR (te sentirás taaaaaan culpable cuando lo comas, oh ^^) y si te entra la morriña de productos españoles, tanto la tienda como el tapas bar de Brindisa te ofrecen un montón de productos españoles (¡y un montón de quesos e ibéricos!).
Hay que venir con hambre y dispuesto a compartir y probar muchas cosas… ¡no se acaba!

Este mercado además de puestos de producto fresco tiene un montón de puestos de comida para tomar allí de un montón de nacionalidades. Todo lo que probé estaba muy rica y había mucha variedad, pero había miles de personas y apenas sitio para sentarse. Así que espera colas y comer de pie. Fui un sábado, que supongo que también influye.

Borough Market may not get the aerial pan like London Eye or Tower Bridge on TV shows or movies when the setting moves to London, but this is yet another must-​go destination for all London tourists!
Showing the hipster side of London, Borough Market is an open-​air market under the London Bridge railway. Here, you will find not only the traditional market vendors like produce or butcher stands but also exotic unique goods that you may not see often elsewhere such as venison dogs and Egyptian street food. You don’t have to buy anything to be intrigue by this terrific market, but at the same time, can you really resist the alluring aroma from everywhere if you aren’t full?
I highly recommend coming here as a lunch break between Tower Hill and Westminster. Keep in mind though that most food vendors accept cash only and each order is generally £5. However, there is an ATM on site, and some vendors that charge higher prices do accept credit cards so don’t fret if you forgot to bring cash.
Whether you are hungry or full, definitely make your way to visit Borough Market!
—
TIPS TO GET THE MAX:
1) The best way is to simply wander around but grab a map for information
2) Take a walk around before committing to a food choice: the vendors won’t go away on the same day!
3) Bring cash
4) General seating area with information and restroom is on the intersection of Southwark and Cathedral Streets
—
tl;dr version:
1) Awesome open-​air market near London Bridge
2) Classic market vendors along with exotic unique choices
3) Perfect lunch spot but a must-​go destination at anytime!

Stopped by Borough Market for a late lunch/​early dinner on a Thursday, so the crowd at the market had died down significantly. Oh the glorious foods of Borough Market! I would have loved to come on an empty stomach and eaten all that the market had to offer. I would love it even more as a local.
As a tourist, it wouldn’t have been worth it to buy a block of cheese if I was just staying for a couple of days. It would’ve been AMAZING to go around and sample different cheeses and speak with the cheesemongers to learn about British cheeses, but I felt too guilty knowing that I wasn’t going to buy anything.
I’d definitely recommend to walk around the market first to scope out everything first then decide what to buy. There’s everything from British pies, thai curries, falafels, pastries and bakeries, and cheese and charcuterie stands.
I ended up getting the duck confit sandwich which turned out to be a tad bit too salty for my liking and the duck was a bit dry, probably because it had been cooking for the whole day. It’s definitely a crowd favorite, but if I were to go back, I’d like to try a salt beef bagel sandwich next time.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience, but I’d try coming earlier in the day when things are the freshest.

Borough market is simply amazing. I think they have more food stalls during the week. We had lunch here with a friend when we were visiting London and were blown away. The sheer variety of food can be mind boggling. We stuffed ourselves but obviously couldn’t get a taste of everything. There is something for everyone here The meat lovers, the cheese lovers, the bread lovers. You get the drift.
We tried the Ethiopian stand, and for under 5£ you can choose 3 sides and rice/​injera, it’s a great way to try Ethiopian food. There was also an Egyptian street food stall, which served a bowl with lentils, rice, pasta, super yummy sauce and fried onions. Fried onions made this dish. I have never had anything like this before so really enjoyed it. We also tried some hog sammies and Shepards pie which were all really great. By the time we reached the seafood section unfortunately we were too stuffed. Will have to go back to try the fudge, sausages and pretty much everything else.
If you are visiting London you must make this market a part of your itinerary, it’s totally worth it. The prices can add up quickly so be mindful of that. If you live in London, what can I say but you lucky ducks !!!

Borough Market has so much to offer that it’s easy to get lost in here and the nearby surroundings. As a tourist, we were fortunate to learn about this on our Harry Potter tour and carved out time to return for our final day in London.
Grateful for the covered outdoor feel as it was pouring rain but we also got to experience the true elements of the marketplace. Variety of food choices can fulfill almost anyone’s palette.
You really can’t go wrong with the food regardless of your craving.
Cannon & Cannon had some great samples and we walked away with some charcuterie snacks for later
Baklava, oysters, venison burger all within the Middle Road section were great picks by our group of 6.
Crossing over to Green Market area and we got some Shepherd’s pies, macaroons, etc.
Again, just an overall great place to experience food, farmer’s market atmosphere, and steps from the Underground’s London Bridge stop.

Borough Market, c’est un peu devenu LE spot incontournable dès que je suis de passage dans la capitale Britannique. Situé à deux pas du London Bridge (et de sa chouette vue sur le Tower Bridge), ce grand marché te fait frétiller les papilles en moins de deux: le rêve serait de pouvoir goûter à tout!
Des dizaines de stands de sucré, de salé, de produits locaux et frais, de cuisine du monde (éthiopienne, thaïlandaise, créolé, Europe de l’est…), que ce soit pour un en-​cas ou un repas, il y en a vraiment pour tout les goûts. Le marché est souvent bondé, mais il est très grand, et il y a des possibilité de s’asseoir aux alentours.
Le dernier plat que j’y ai mangé: un pad thaï végétarien, copieux et délicieux pour 5£. Il me tarde déjà d’y retourner!

A great upscale and clean market to enjoy and wander around. It was great to time the visit so I dropped by around lunchtime. Great to explore around and let your stomach and nose lead the way!
Be sure to explore across the small street into the outdoor area. I found this to have the most food on offer for lunch. The inside portion is great to buy all sorts of local cheese, meats, olives, etc.
I found the most interesting stop to be a unique meats counter. Many «interesting» meats you could purchase to cook at home. I had the exotic bites to try the zebra… not bad!

Vous aimez Londres? Vous aimez découvrir de nouvelles saveurs? Vous aimez manger? Bah voilà.
Plus sérieusement, ce marché couvert est splendide. Les étals sont gorgés de fruits, légumes, viandes, fromages, spécialités locales, et l’on trouve plusieurs stands mitoyens de plats étrangers. Le marché est très grand, mais également très plein, mais franchement, il vaut le détour.
Je pense très certainement finir mes jours là bas.

Ma conception du paradis ressemble plus ou moins à ça.
Ce marché est vraiment incontournable. Il est à l’image de Londres, un grand mélange culturel et gastronomique. On y trouve de tout et surtout du très bon.
Des produits frais, de la street food de qualité, des bières locales et artisanales, du vegan: Tout est extrêmement tentant, on se laisse guider par les saveurs dans les allées, c’est juste parfait.
Je le recommande vraiment à tout mes amis qui partent à Londres. Foncez, vous y trouverez sûrement votre bonheur.

I love this market but it’s always so god damn crowded. The food is not particularly culturally diverse and portions can be quite small.
However pretty much everything there is delicious particularly Bread Ahead’s honeycomb caramel doughnuts! A definite must go if you haven’t been there before but I prefer Camden market for my regular food stops.

The salt beef sandwich was incredible! There was quite a long queue, but it was definitely worth it. There is also a great hot apple cider vendor that is worth trying!
The market is incredibly crowded, but just because of its high quality and huge selection of food. It is worth going to multiple times so you get to try a lot of the different options, but you really can’t go wrong here!

Excelente comida y aún más la variedad. El ambiente es muy agradable y los alrededores son todavía más placenteros. Totalmente recomendable para almorzar en un paseo por Southwark.

Endlich habe ich es geschafft, auf diesen Markt zu gehen. Ich sitze gerade in einem Café und schaue mir die Fotos an (die folgen dem Bericht in den nächsten Tagen). Das war der schönste Markt, den ich je gesehen habe. Eine unwahrscheinliche Vielfalt von frischen Fleisch von Bauern, leckerem Gemüse, Käse und vielem mehr. Es gibt auch viele Stände die etwas zu Essen anbieten und zwischendurch hört man auch ein paar Marktschreier.
Schon alleine das Gebäude ist ein Besuch wert. Viel altes Gemäuer mit Eisenstreben. Um den Markt herum gibt es auch interessante Geschäfte, die man besuchen sollte. Ich kann jeden, der London besucht empfehlen, diesen Markt zu besichtigen. Ich kann leider kaum in Worte fassen, wie toll der Markt ist. Freut euch einfach auf meine Fotos.

If you have some free time in London you definitely should check this place out! A giant market with tons and tons of food and produce stalls. Samples everywhere as well!
STORES NOT TO MISS:
— Pieminister: They sell the BEST British pies here for 5 – 7. You can get them hot or cold and a side with it if you want as well.
— Paella: Not sure what the store was called but they have these GIANT wok’s filled with paella. They are so nice about the samples! They just love giving them out. And it really works cause everyone wants to buy it.
Not all the stores are there everyday so I would just check on the store’s website and see if they’re going to be there that week or not. Although the market’s open everyday — not everyday is the full. I would suggest going Wednesday — Saturday if you want the full experience.
There are restrooms outside of the market and they were cleaner than I expected them to be.

Für alle die gutes essen lieben! Ich konnte mich gar nicht entscheiden und wir mussten ein zweites mal hingehen… Soooo lecker!!!

Das muss man gesehen haben. Feinschmeckermarkt total! Überall leckere Kleinigkeiten aus aller Herren Länder. Wir waren leider Samstagmittag da und haben den Markt im totalen Ausnahemzustand erlebt. Man kam nur noch schiebend vorwärts und zu den meisten Ständen gar nicht mehr durch. Daher konnten wir auch nichts probieren — wir hätten gar nicht gewusst, wo und wie essen…
An anderen Wochentagen soll es aber deutlich entspannter sein. Einfach mal hingehen.

Prometteur pour le peu qu’on a pu en voir, le Borough Market risqué fort de me plaire au point d’en devenir l’un de mes lieux de villégiature londonien.
Facile d’accès, il est localisé à quelques pas du London Bridge, dans la ligne droite descendante de celui ci en direction du sud de la ville. Vitrine de ce qui se fait de mieux dans la cuisine anglaise, on respire avec bonheur les produits des différentes étales et ça donne envie d’acheter tout ce qui s’y trouve.

The moment I stepped in, I thought — am in heaven? This is the place to go if you are a foodie! They have so many food options from desserts to fresh pasta to fresh juice! I can stay here the whole day! I only got to try a tasty burger from one of the stands, a nutella bieignet, and sangria! They were all delicious! My friends tried the fresh pasta and paella and thought they were delicious.
If I lived in London, I would do my grocery shopping here! They also have fresh produce, bread, cheese, mushrooms, herbs, etc. I definitely recommend checking this market out if you are visiting or if you live in London!

Nette kleine Stände mit einer großen Auswahl an Essen. Allerdings ist es meistens ziemlich voll und man hat wegen den großen Menschenmassen dann manchmal nicht die Möglichkeit alle Stände zu besuchen. Zudem ist das Essen nicht immer so gut wie es aussieht. Man muss eben eine weile suchen bis man das passende für sich gefunden hat.

Borough Market = amazing!!!
An absolute must if you are a foodie fanatic (like myself) or love trying out new foods!
We visited Borough Market on our last day in London — luckily my appetite was back, because the food options here are outstanding, both in presentation and taste. You’ll find fresh fruit and vegetables, pungent cheeses, savoury breads, cookies the size of your hands, sweet treats, handmade chocolates and ice cream.
And if that doesn’t satisfy you, there is ethnic food available (for example from the ‘Soul Food’ and vegetarian Indian stands), super tasty pies (Pieminister), haloumi burgers (The Veggie Table), salted caramel doughnuts (Bread Ahead Bakery) and fresh juices and smoothies.
While I would have loved to have tried one of everything, I was craving a pie. Pieminister were serving the most delicious array of pies, plus they use free range meat and chicken and have two vegetarian options. I went with the ‘Free Ranger’ consisting of chicken, ham hock, leek and thyme, while my sister ordered the ‘Classic Moo’ with beef and ale. They keep their pies in the oven, so they are super hot when given to you. The pastry was perfect and there was loads of filing. At £4 each, this was a steal!
I would definitely revisit Borough Market again, solely on our pie experience! Next time I would love to try some soul food, a salted caramel doughnut and a fresh smoothie. There is so much choice here that you will leave feeling full and happy. Highly highly recommend!
Side note: Also saw that Bread Ahead have their own bakery school next to the Borough Market where they offer bread making classes to the public, so something hands on to try for next time!

Bienvenue au paradis de la street food pour tous les goûts, toutes les envies: burgers, jus, smoothies, gâteaux anglais, nourriture indienne, pies, donuts, fromage, charcuterie, nourriture végé, carnée.
J’ai personnellement opté pour un stand de nourriture indienne vegan et tout était vraiment excellent et bien épicé/​relevé/​goûtu (ni trop ni trop peu).
(Et en dessert né loupez pas les donuts de Bread Ahead !)

Ein «must visit» für alle Freunde der internationalen Küche. Hier gibt es alles was man sucht oder sich vorstellen kann. Jede Richtung. Äusserst schmackhaft und preislich OK. Äthiopische Küche (meat combo mit zwei sides) oder venison burger (freeeeeeeee taste!!!) waren ein Hochgenuss. Wir werden wieder kommen. Das ist sicher. Ist variantenreicher und interessanter als jedes Restaurant in London. Come in and enjoy! Einfach unwiderstehlich.

Heaven para el amante de la comida callejera. El lugar es hermoso, gigante, moderno y tiene CIENTOS de opciones. Simplemente un paseo imbatible en Londres. Encima con The Shard de fondo para iluminar nuestras vistas.
Tiene varios sectores, desde la compra de productos frescos, vegetales, quesos, carnes, pescados y lo más lindo de todo, la comida preparada. Miles de opciones de hamburguesas, tostados, scotch eggs, panchos alemanes, curry’s y falafel wraps de todo tipo.
Es para irse rodando. Eso sí, nada barato eh. Un plato típico cuesta 7 libras.

Beaucoup plus petit que les marchés de Camdem ou Brick Lane, mais si vous êtes de ce côté du fleuve, ce marché est top pour manger un bout avant/​après le Tate Modern !
En semaine la clientèle est un mélange de touristes et de costards-​cravates, et les groupes se rejoignent ensuite pour piqué-​niquer dans le patio de la petite église à côté ou sur la promenade face à la Tamise.
J’adore ces marchés où on mange de partout. Rien qu’avec les odeurs on a l’impression de se remplir le ventre…

Für jeden Foodie ein absolutes Muss in London. Tolle Lebensmittel in Craft Qualität. Super Würstel und tolle Steaks. Viel an Sitzmöglichkeiten. Und wer es etwas anders haben möchte — auch ungewöhnliche Sitze auf der Friedhofmauer der benachbarten St. Giles Kathedrale. Man könnte schon sagen — megageil.

Côté marché, le coin est incontournable. Des centaines de stands pour faire ses courses de produits frais, on né sait plus où donner de la tête, on a envie de tout acheter…
Côté petite bouffe entre amis sur place, ce n’est pas vraiment bon, mais on aime l’ambiance. Lorsqu’on sort du marché, il y a un «second borough market», destiné à ça. On en profite pour déjeuner ou dîner quand on y est.
On apprécie l’atmosphère du lieu, le côté cosmopolite de Londres qu’on voit dans toute sa splendeur à l’heure de l’apéro… et on passé un super moment malgré le niveau basique de la nourriture…

Me encanta! Concurrido! No especialmente atestado de turistas! Comida! Y muy variada! Y panadería! Y dulces! Fruta y verdura fresca! Carne! Mariscos! Pescados! Cada barrio debería poder tener un sitio tan encantador. Mercado peculiar.
Debe ser visitado!

Es un mercado precioso y además tiene mucha variedad. Verduras, frutas (de todas clases y diversidades), carnes bio, quesos, yogures, panes, repostería, productos con denominación de origen, comida hecha… increible. Los precios son muy buenos, hay ofertas en algunas cosas pero sobre todo en las carnes que suele ser lo más caro he visto precios sorprendentes para esa calidad.
Lo mejor de todo es que si siga conservando y utilizando después de tantos cientos de años.

Pour les curieux et les gourmands Borough Market est un lieu qui doit être vu.
Déjà parce que nous n’avons pas l’équivalent à Paris (là je suis jalouse !) et ensuite parce que tout est très tentant, l’épreuve du moment sera de faire son choix parmi les nombreux stands (là je me réjouis que l’on n’ait pas l’équivalent à Paris !)
Donc si vous êtes dans les parages, venez et régalez-​vous !

Melhor mercado de comida independente da Europa.
Eu fazia minhas compras lá todo sábado quando morava em Londres. É caro, mas a qualidade é muito alta e os produtos são especiais. Ideal para ir tomar um brunch e ficar passeando e comprando o que se gosta.
Também é bom ir ao restaurante que fica no primeiro andar, mas chegue cedo! Sério, tudo lá é ótimo, pode comprar de olho fechado!

Parce que des produits frais sous des quais, ça n’a pas de prix !
Ce marché couvert, sous un chemin de fer, propose uniquement de l’alimentation (nourriture et boissons).
Les stands ressemblent à de vraies boutiques ! Ils sont totalement aménagés et près les uns des autres. A chaque pas, vous découvrez une pépite gustative.
Notre odorat et notre goût voyage dans ce lieu très vivant et convivial.
Tout y est appétissant et savoureux (selon les goûts de chacun, bien sûr !).
Les produits sont frais et vous pouvez même faire votre repas sur place: légumes, viandes, pains de très belle qualité (à Londres, c’est possible !), fromages, fruits et jus de fruits ultra frais sont au rendez-​vous.
Petite note: Les vendeurs proposent souvent de goûter leurs produits.

J’aimerais camper tous les jours sur ce marché…
Un marché synonyme de paradis gustatif.
Il y en a pour tous les goûts mais la qualité reste la même… FORMIDABLE !
C’est un endroit extraordinaire où s’entrechoquent les cultures au service de la cuisine (étrange ce que je dis).
J’ai pu tester là-​bas le meilleur cheesecake et le meilleur cookie que j’ai eu l’occasion de savourer.
EXCELLENT ! Le meilleur rapport qualité/​prix

Les petits stands de nourriture à consommer sur place sont sympas. En ce qui concerne les produits vendus sur place, ils semblent être de bonne qualité mais assez chers.

Un marché bien sympa, qui parlera particulièrement aux fans de street food et aux foodies tout court d’ailleurs. Parce-​que du manger, il y en a partout! Des dizaines et des dizaines de stands collés les uns à côté des autres qui vous vendent de tout, vraiment, ça vaut le détour, né serait-​ce que par la diversité d’options qui est proposée!
Quand j’y suis arrivée, j’ai failli faire demi-​tour car il y avait un peu trop de charcuterie/​saucissonaille à mon goût mais j’ai fini par déboucher sur une zone topissime où il y avait plein d’options végétariennes: thaï, falafel, cheese sandwich… de quoi me combler.
J’avais lu de très bons avis de Unilocaleurs anglais sur Kappacasein qui propose un grilled cheese sandwich, qui était pas mal. J’ai aussi testé un pad thaï. La qualité des plats dans le market né me semble pas casser 3 pattes à un canard mais l’endroit vaut quand même la balade, ça dépayse. Cet endroit m’a un peu fait penser au marché des enfants rouges!
Petite astuce: il y a plein d’ATM à l’extérieur du market

Un petit marché très sympa ou on peu déguster toute sortes de spécialités. L’ambiance est vraiment sympa, il y fait bon vivre, l’endroit idéal ou sortir un samedi ou un dimanche matin.
En plus, la plupart des vendeurs vous proposent de déguster leurs produits sans même avoir a payer, de quoi déguster un peu de tout.

Je suis une absolue fan de l’endroit ! Il faut y aller vers 11h pour y choisir ce qu’on mangera le midi parce que c’est IMPOSSIBLE (oui oui) de né rien acheter !
C’est un ensemble de centaines de petits étales à fromages, pâtés, pains, gâteaux, vins, jus de fruits frais, fruits de mer. Et c’est sans compter les stands type «food truck». On vous y proposera des burgers, falafels ou encore produits frais à la plancha. J’ai eu un coup de foudre pour un petit vendeur d’huitres/fruits de mer qui avait préparé des noix de st Jacques marinés, croustillant de bacon et crudités. MIAM ! Ou encore le stand de «drunk cheese», un étale à fromages marinés à différentes sortes de vin. MIAM MIAM !!! Ou celui du «mushroom pâté», que nous avons dégusté d’une traite avec les superbes focaccia aux échalottes d’un stand un peu plus loin. MIAM MIAM MIAM !!!
Bref, le paradis de la bonne bouffe. A faire absolument ! Niveau prix c’est assez variés vu la quantité de stand. Attention par contre, comme c’est hyper connu, ça se rempli très vite vers 12h30.

Amar o Borough Market é fácil. Você já começa um romance com ele sabendo a sua localização. Alguns passos da estação London Bridge do metrô e voilá, você entra em um espaço para amantes da gastronomia de qualquer gosto, estilo e bolso.
Se morar ou trabalhar por aqui, você pode dar uma passadinha para fazer as compras da semana, almoçar com seus colegas de trabalho ou só conhecer pelo passeio mesmo.
O conceito de mercados em Londres é tão interessante quanto o conceito de padarias no Brasil. É único, é super gostoso e é claro muito local. Este mercado não podia ser diferente, já que é um dos maiores e mais antigos da cidade.
De criações curiosas como hambúrgueres das carnes mais exóticas, barracas naturais e orgânicas e claro as delícias mais tradicionais de Londres como Pie’n’Mash ninguém fica de lado por aqui. Quando terminar não deixe de passear pelo bairro, dê uma entradinha na Southwark Cathedral (que deve ser pronunciado SÃD-​ÃK) e veja a arquitetura de alguns prédios que já estão por ali há anos (inclusive o próprio local do mercado).

Ja. Fünf Sterne. Und ja, das ist ein riesiger Touri-​Ort. Aber trotzdem.
Im Oktober war ich nun das x-​te Mal in London, aber habe es endlich mal zum Borough Market geschafft. Es hatte leicht geregnet, welch Wunder in London, und es war ein Samstagnachmittag. Entsprechend hatte ich viele Leute erwartet — und fast noch mehr angetroffen.
Für Foodies wie mich ist das hier ein Paradies. Frische Smoothies, welche vor den eigenen Augen zubereitet werden, Schokoladen aller Art, irgendwelche speziellen Honig-​Leckerein aus England und und und. Natürlicht gibt’s auch jede Menge frische Sandwiches und ausserum super tolle Essensstände. Egal ob eine Käseschnitte, einen Pork Belly Burger (die sind super) oder eine Art Döner — alles einfach super!
Ich empfehle unter der Woche hinzugehen, dann soll es weniger Leute haben. Aber wem’s nichts ausmacht, der kann auch Samstags hingehen.
Wirklich ein toller Ort, um mal ein paar neue Sachen zu probieren, ein bisschen mit den Liebsten oder Kumpels umherzuschlendern und dann auch etwas richtiges zu essen. So macht das Erkunden Londons und der kulinarischen Welt Spass. Ein Muss wenn man in London ist.

Bei Borough Market hat es sich um einen Markt für Lebensmittel in London. Er befindet sich bei der U-​Bahn-​Station London Bridge. Der perfekte Abstecher vor/​nach einem Besuch in der Tate Modern oder vor/​nach einem Spaziergang auf der Southbank.
Auf dem Borugh Market gibt es frische Lebensmittel aus alle Welt (Käse, Gemüse, Obst, Fleisch, Wurst …). Anders als auf vielen Deutschen Märkten darf man (bzw. muss man) hier zwanglos probieren. Die Händler fordern einen nahezu auf ihre Produkte zu testen. Nehmen es einem aber überhaupt nicht übel, wenn man dann nicht bei ihnen einkauft. Sehr zwanglos, sehr angenehm!
Aber auch für Touristen, die keine frischen Lebensmittel kaufen möchten, hat der Markt einiges zu bieten. Außerhalb der eigentlichen Markthalle gibt es eine Vielzahl von Ständen, die fertige Speisen (Burger, Falafel, …) und Süßspeisen (Kuchen, Brownies, Cremes) bieten.
Früher ein Geheimtipp. Spätestens seit der Renovierung vor ein paar Jahren zwar kein Geheimtipp mehr, aber auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. (Tipp: der Filterkaffee von Monmouth ist hervorragend und die Wartezeit in der Schlange auf jeden Fall wert!)
Für mich ist der Borough Market ein Muss bei jedem Londonbesuch!

— nice food market which is absolutely worth a visit
— great variety of different food, fresh juices, pimms, cakes, etc.
— great atmosphere, nice people
— a place which is not really touristy
— there could be some more seating facilities (most people are sitting on the ground in front of the church which is not that comfy)

Le top du top des marchés couverts!
Borough Market est ouvert depuis 1851 et pourtant tout est brand new, tout beau tout propre. Les étales sont toutes plus jolies et appétissantes les unes que les autres, on a envie de tout acheter!
L’endroit, chargé d’histoire, se divise en 2 parties: les produits frais (fruits/​légumes, fromages, viandes), et les nombreux stands de nourriture à emporter. Et il y en a pour tous les goûts: du sandwich breakfast sausage & eggs, aux huîtres fraîchement ouvertes, en passant par les falafels, les burgers à l’effiloché de boeuf, ou encore la raclette fondue sur de belles pommes de terre chaudes. Même en y allant tous les jours pendant 3 mois vous né pourrez pas tester tout ce qui vous fait envie.
Mention spéciale pour:
— les sandwichs du Guildable Manor (près de l’église): le spiced lamb (agneau à la menthe, coriandre et paprika fumé) est une explosion de saveur! N’hésitez pas à demander le supplément fromage et à tester plusieurs sauces.
Curiosité:
— le stand de viandes rares. Ils proposent des burgers (à manger sur place) mais aussi des steaks (à ramener chez soi) de chameau, autruche, kangourou, ou encore de zèbre. Prochaine fois, je tente!
Vous y trouverez aussi smoothies et jus de fruits frais, ainsi que qu’une multitude de pâtisseries et desserts en tous genres.
Pour moi un passage obligé lorsque je retournerai à Londres!

Der Borough Market gehört zu den ältesten und beliebtesten
Lebensmittelmärkten in London. Und das zu Recht. Seit über 250 Jahren bieten
hier die Händler ihre Lebensmittel an. Ein Hauch von Nostalgie schwebt hier.
(Siehe Foto unten) (Siehe Foto unten)
Alles ist sehr authentisch und außergewöhnlich. Der Markt ist zum größten Teil
überdacht, direkt neben der Metrostation London Bridge. Hier findet man fast
alle Sorten von Gemüse, Obst, Gewürze, Fisch und Fleisch.
(Siehe Foto unten) (Siehe Foto unten)
Sehr zu empfehlen
sind die zahlreichen Imbisse”, und zwar von der wirklich guten Sorte.
Köstlichkeiten von Austern bis Zander kann man hier fast alles verköstigen. Das
gilt auch für die zahlreichen Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe. Viele
Chefköche kaufen hier ihre frische Ware.
(Siehe Foto unten) (Siehe Foto unten)
Auch so bekannte wie Jamie Oliver. Der
Markt ist donnerstags bis samstags geöffnet. Die genauen Öffnungszeiten habe
ich auf der Hauptseite ergänzt. Ich kann nur jedem, auch Nichtköche, empfehlen,
den Markt zu besuchen.

Nice food market. You find everything from each country you like. Taste some little libanese falafel here, taste some french cheese there. If you want to have a inspiring trip with your friendsgo there, have a look at all these fantastic stuff. Bön appétit.

Découvert par hasard, en descendant à la station London Bridge pour rejoindre la Tate par les quais, ce marché a été une agréable surprise.
Il y règne une ambiance particulière qui invite à s’y attarder et à flâner dans ses différentes parties. Les étalages sont très beaux, tout donne envie ! Nous en avons profité pour déjeuner sur place et goûter au fameux jus de wheatgrass (mixé avec des légumes).
Bref, c’était un moment très agréable, dans un cadre finalement assez atypique pour un marché puisqu’en partie situé sous le pont du métro !

Best opportunity to join good food in London!

Das Nummer 1 kulinarische Erlebnis in London, sehr empfehlenswert! Geh früh und mit einem leeren Bauch!

Segunda visita a Borough Market y misma sensación: winner total. Por la cabeza me pasaba todo el rato el mismo pensamiento:”¡Aaaah!¡¡Seguro que Gordon Ramsay compra la materia prima para sus restaurantes aquí!!!”. Porque Borough es un flea market (mercado al aire libre) de productos gastronómicos de primerisísisima calidad: solo hace falta verlos, olerlos y tocarlos. Carne de las mejores granjas del país; puestos de fruta con fruta de verdad, de verdad de la buena; queserías con tanta lactosa y tanto queso que debería de ser ilegal; y puestos de gourmet donde se venden desde vinos hasta diferentes tipos de sal marina. Borough es lo más. Y eso es así.
El plan perfecto es aprovechar y comer allí (vamos, como para no hacerlo), en alguno de los infinitos puestos que se apretujan debajo del puente: paella, hamburguesas, sandwiches, kebabs… todo tiene una pinta riquísima, todo te lo sirven a lo bestia pero con amor (que sí, que sí, que eso se nota, ¡aunque lo hagan con prisas!). Si el tiempo acompaña –aunque no suele darse el caso, algo malo tenía que tener — es obligatorio buscar algún banquito o esconderse en un rincón a zamparse lo que hayas decidido tomar.
Y además es bastante «guiri free».
¡Lo tiene todo, oiga!¡¡Así que venga nenas que me lo quitan de las manos!!! (la comida, se entiende).

Un marché anglais, couvert bien entendu, qui vous promet de beaux moments gustatifs !
Entre le stand de vaisselle peinte et le fromager de Normandie, vous trouverez tout un tas de petites échoppes éphémères qui vous propose des pâtes, ou bien des sandwiches à la viande, et tout un tas d’autres spécialités plus ou moins locales ! Les odeurs sont enivrantes et jouons là comme des anglais: chacun choisi son stand et on se rejoint pour piqué-​niquer dans le jardin de la petite église qui jouxte Borough Market !
Sympa à faire et très typique !

dieser markt muss einfach 5 sterne bekommen! als ich noch in london gelebt habe, war das ein wöchentliches MUST! ausgezeichnetes essen (auch kleine probierhäppchen hier und da), tolle stimmung, nur das beste vom besten… wenn man sehnsucht nach deutschland hatte auch n deutscher bratwurststand… sonst ist der chorizostand nicht zu versäumen (übersieht man nicht durch die lange anstehschlange :)). fliege am dienstag wieder nach london und freu mich jetzt schon wieder auf einen besuch dort!

Auf diesen Markt muss ich wirklich IMMER, wenn wir in London sind. Vorher etwas zu Essen ist völlig unnötig, da es hier wirklich alles gibt was das Herz begehrt bzw. was mein Herz danach begehren wird! Diesesmal hat es mir der Watergrass-​Shot besonders angetan. Ich weiß immernoch nicht ob er mir schmeckte oder ob ich Ihn widerlich fand! Also hab ich danach lieber erstmal einen frischgepressten Apfelsaft getrunken und Muffin gegessen. Noch etwas Käse, Brot, Chutney und Salat gekauft und ab nach Hause.

Der unkonventionelle Fernsehkoch Jamie Oliver hat ihn bekannt gemacht: der Borough Market widerlegt alles, was über die britische Küche behauptet wird Frischeprodukte in Hülle und Fülle, die jedem Kunden deutscher Bioläden Herzrasen verursachen.
Auf diesem unwiderstehlich appetitanregenden Biomarkt kann der London-​Reisende endlich einmal eine leckere englische Pie mit Lammfleisch und Minzsauce kosten, ohne den ranzig-​pappigen Geschmack gleichnamiger Produkte, die in vielen Pubs angeboten werden, erleben zu müssen. Von handgemachten Buttertoffees über englisches Rindfleisch in allen Darbietungsformen bis hin zu Fischsuppen und duftenden Currys gibt es alles, was die von Migranten aus allen Erdteilen mitgeprägte Inselküche bietet.
Gegesen wird an kleinen Tische oder im Schatten der benachbarten Southwark Cathedral, wo bei gutem Wetter hunderte Schlemmer Platz finden.
Der optimale Besuchstag für den Markt ist der Donnerstag. Freitag und Samstag ist es inzwischen einfach zu voll.
U-​Bahn: London Brigde (Jubilee, Northern Line)

Samstags voll aber donnerstag und freitags ein Highlight bei jedem Londonbesuch.
Wer gerne isst und bisher dachte, dass das in England nicht vernünftig möglich sei, wird hier eines besseren belehrt und für immer kuriert. Ausserdem muss man mindestens drei mal kommen, denn ein normaler Magen schafft es mengenmässig schlichtweg nicht, alles probierenswerte zu probieren Sandwiches mit Chorizo, frischeste Austern, Burger, Pies, leckerste Kuchen, bester Kaffee Oh mann ich muss sofort einen Flug buchen

Este mercadillo es encantador. Paseando por la orilla del rio me lo encontré, un lugar donde comprar todo tipo de alimentos frescos en un ambiente muy alegre, y donde también se pueden comer unas exquisitas hamburguesas o bocadillos que hacen en los puestecillos.

Hier habe ich den besten Kaffee meines Lebens getrunken, typisch deutsche Spezialitäten wie einen Hotdog mit Bratwurst (…wer hat den Engländern DAS bitte erzählt? ;-)) verspeist und mich an den unterschiedlichsten Gerüchen der unterschiedlichsten Delikatessen sattgeschnuppert. Der Markt ist der Knaller, unbedingt empfehlenswert!

Le Borough Market est un des plus anciens marchés de Londres, c’est un lieu fantastique pour les amoureux de bonne & belle chair. Il est ouvert le vendredi matin et le samedi toute la journée et se situe juste derrière Borough High Street. La station de métro la plus proche est London Bridge.
Je vous recommande d’arriver à l’ouverture pour profiter tranquillement des nombreux étals, en fin de matinée ça devient de la folie et il devient difficile de circuler, de profiter.

Vom Borough Market habe ich durch die Kochsendungen mit Jamie Oliver erfahren. Irgendwann bin ich mal Samstag morgens hingefahren und ich muss sagen, es lohnt sich wirklich. Die Atmosphäre dort ist sehr nett und es gibt überall etwas zu sehen, zu riechen und zu schmecken. Auch wenn man im Hotel wohnt und nicht selbst kocht, geschweige denn ein halbes Schwein mit im Flieger nach Deutschland nehmen will, gibt es an jeder Ecke leckere Snacks, wie z.B. das sehr geile Sandwich mit gebratener Chorizo, Paprika und Ruccola, für das ich mich ca. eine Viertelstunde anstellen musste und kurz bevor ich dran war, die Zutaten ausgingen. .. :-(
