Borough Market,


Southwark, London


Boasting over 1000 years of
service, Borough Market is London’s
oldest street food paradise and the
expertise certainly shows. From
locally-sourced fresh produce to
cookery demos with expert chefs,
it’s not your average town food stall.
With so much on offer there’s no way
you’ll merely browse and pass
through; you’ll be interacting, asking
questions and learning about the
historic institution—the food-lover’s
dream day out.
Says head of food policy, David
Matchett, “When the sun is out,
putting together a picnic is a
Londoner’s favourite thing to do.
You can choose the best bread,
cheese, ham and accompaniments
from our specialist traders to make
your own Borough Market
ploughman’s to enjoy by the river. For
a quick one-stop shop to taste the
best that Borough Market has to offer,
pop to Elliot’s Restaurant. The chef
sources wonderful ingredients
exclusively from the market and
prepares fresh, seasonal small plates.”
To top it off, none of the market’s
rubbish goes to landfill. All
cardboard, paper, plastic, glass or
wood is recycled and all remaining
food waste is sent to an anaerobic
digestion plant.
