In a city known for its markets I’ve been trying to make my way around to tick them all off the list. With Spitalfields and Portobello markets under my belt it seemed only fitting that the famous Borough Market would be next. So far I’ve found it to have the most variety by far and loved exploring the area around the sprawling market which happened to be just eerie enough to feel right on target for Halloween.
Within the market there is a sampling of anything and everything under the sun. If you go, take a stack of cash and a big appetite because the temptations are everywhere.
I indulged in some delicious Indian street fare and some sinfully amazing gluten free deserts from Free From (not pictured as they mysteriously disappeared before the camera could catch them).
The market goes on and on and to be honest I wasn’t quite sure where it ended at times. The area just around it is adorable though, so wandering up and down the surrounding streets as you go isn’t a bad idea.
Just based on the convenience of getting around I haven’t spent a ton of time south of the Thames, but after this trip I think I’ll be making more of an effort to go explore the various neighborhoods. It’s incredible the variety that can exist in a single city.
