Borough Market

Borough Market London
Foodies love nothing more than visiting places that are entirely dedicated to food. London has some wonderful food markets. 
Borough Market
Borough Market near London Bridge, is one of London's oldest and most renowned food markets.

It is a personal favourite of mine because, it is where people who love making food, as well as eating and drinking all congregate.

If you are visiting London you really must take a visit. It has some superb stalls selling seasonal produce and on site there are some brilliant 
restaurants.

Make sure you arrive hungry though, as there is lots to taste and consume.

Some highlights:
1. Monmouth Coffee Company: Brilliant coffee, delivered fresh everyday from their roasting site in Bermondsey. 
Good coffee
The best bit the coffee is ethically sourced.

2. Kappcasein: The best Raclettes and cheese sandwiches you are ever likely to have.  


3. Brindisa: the queue for this place is for a reason, delicious chorizo, rocket and red pepper in a roll. It is worth the wait trust me. 

4. Cool Chile Co: Dried Chillies imported directly from Mexico. If you like your food with a bit of a kick this is the place for you.

  7. I had a laugh at the fish picture. It has an expression of, "What just happened to me?" I love all your photos. So clear and vibrant. The coffee would probably be my favorite. Coffee is usually is the highlight of my life. I also love seafood and I would eat it all (even the confused fish).
