Market Fresh

Sooo basically all we do in London in our free time is explore, eat and drink. This city is huge and that means endless boozin and foodin. (Yeah I made that word up.) So you can rest assured that we have been on the grind finding the best pubs, restaurants and food festivals that London has to offer.

Hidden throughout many areas of London are the gems known as street markets. Some have shopping, some have food, some are a mix. They are spread in and around the city and are permanently calling your name to come behold all of the goodies that they have to offer.

So far one of these gems as stood out the brightest of them all to me--Borough Market. This 100% food and drink marketplace sits right in central London at the feet of the London Bridge. Hundreds of tents, pavilions and stands all crawling with hungry customers spread over the market area. You can find everything from fresh local cheeses and meats to the widest assortment of fruits and vegetables from all over the country. In one step you could be passing gigantic pots of thai curry and then in the next step you get a huge whiff of salt beef (corn beef to us Americans).

After a good half an hour in pure awe, we couldn't put off our rumbling tummies anymore. It was a hard decision but I settled for a chicken and sweet potato mini pie and half of a salt beef sandwich. I washed it down with fresh sangria and organic cider. We took a couple more laps around to digest meanwhile still stealing samples of the local cheeses, breads, spreads and honeys scattered all throughout the vendors.

One final stop before we headed out of there before we were rolling on the ground--organic ice cream! Chocolate and vanilla please. It was actually unreal.

If anyone is taking their travels to London and has any spare time to enjoy some true London foodie attractions I would recommend a trip to the Borough Market any day of the week! Bring some cash and a hungry stomach and you will never be disappointed.

Until later mates,
