Borough Market, Southbank

This place is what I would describe as the mecca for the foodies in London.
The Borough Market is the oldest food market in London and is located in close vicinity to the London Bridge. Open on Thursdays: 11 am to 5 pm, Fridays: 12 pm-6 pm and Saturdays: 9 am- 4 p.m. The market is the melting pot of all the essential ingredients required to make your life a feast.
Walk around before you begin purchasing, try out all the free samples, whatever your needs are, be it fresh produce or ostrich meat, I am pretty sure that the Market has the answer for you. For those who are looking for their daily dose of caffeine Monmouth Coffee Company has a stall here, there are also a number of wine sellers, and for health lovers there is stall just for Totally Fresh Organic juices.
Beyond the essential, bread, cheese and wine, the market also has stalls that specializes in various national specialties such as Turkish delights, French caramel creme or the Spanish food stall.
If any of you crave a good, healthy and chemical free burger head towards Northfield farm and try their burgers and sausages for approximately 4 pounds. Its fresh, juicy and just the way a burger should be.
Finally, like every great meal, your experience at the market can end with any variety of deserts. Pick handmade truffles, or fudge or head to the Cinnamon bakery for their acclaimed brownies.
The Borough Market is a gift to all the senses, thus making it an essential component to any London experience.
