Southwark Street, London SE1 1TL, UK
Trading in some form since the 13th century, Borough Market is London's most celebrated food market and a paradise for anyone who takes eating seriously. Located underneath the Victorian railway arches near London Bridge, the market hosts over 100 stalls selling everything from fresh truffles and raw-milk cheeses to Argentinian empanadas, Ethiopian injera, and the most indulgent grilled cheese sandwiches you will find anywhere in the city.
The full market operates Wednesday to Saturday, with the busiest days being Friday and Saturday. Arrive before 10:00 on a weekday for a more relaxed browsing experience. Standout stalls include Kappacasein for their legendary raclette, Bread Ahead for filled doughnuts, and Neal's Yard Dairy for Britain's finest artisan cheeses. Many of the traders are producers selling directly, and free samples are generously offered throughout.
Pro Tip: Thursday mornings offer the sweet spot - all stalls are open, but the weekend crowds have not arrived yet. Budget around £15-20 for a generous lunch from the street food traders.
