On a trip to London, (I have a few). I had a lovely stroll along the Thames Southbank, passing all the sights, Shakespeare Globe, London Bridge and ended up stumbling across Borough Street Market. I'd definitely recommend this walk if you get a spare sunny afternoon. I even saw Gok Wan doing the walk!
For those of you that haven't visited its like a permanent farmers market with lots of fresh produce on sale and demonstrations. I bought fresh fruit from the UK, lovely olives by a local deli and some cheese made by an independent British supplier. It gives you the chance to interact with the producer of the food, try some, have a chat about the processes. Loved it.
The market is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I believe Saturday being the busiest. Check out the website for an idea of what to expect. It really is a hidden gem, if you like food would recommend you discover it.
