BOROUGH MARKET, LONDON STREET FOOD, CAKES, CHEESE, SANDWICHES, RACLETTE, BREAD

BOROUGH MARKET, LONDON STREET FOOD, CAKES, CHEESE, SANDWICHES, RACLETTE, BREAD, Borough Market is a wholesale and retail food market in Southwark, Central London, England. It is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London.[1][2] In 2014, it celebrated its 1,000th birthday. The retail market operates on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 5pm, Fridays from 10am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 8 am to 5 pm. The wholesale market operates on all weekday mornings from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
The present market, located on Southwark Street and Borough High Street just south of Southwark Cathedral on the southern end of London Bridge, is a successor to one that originally adjoined the end of London Bridge. It was first mentioned in 1276, although the market itself claims to have existed since 1014 "and probably much earlier"[4][5] and was subsequently moved south of St Margaret's church on the High Street.[6] The City of London received a royal charter from Edward VI in 1550 to control all markets in Southwark (see Guildable Manor), which was confirmed by Charles II in 1671. However, the market caused such traffic congestion that, in 1754, it was abolished by an Act of Parliament.[7][8]
The Act allowed for the local parishioners to set up another market on a new site, and in 1756, it began again on a 4.5-acre (18,000 m²) site in Rochester Yard.[7][8] During the 19th century, it became one of London's most important food markets due to its strategic position near the riverside wharves of the Pool of London. The present-day market mainly sells speciality foods to the general public. However, in the 20th century, it was essentially a wholesale market, selling produce in quantity to greengrocers. It was the main supplier, along with Covent Garden, of fruits and vegetables to retail greengrocers shops. Amongst the notable businesses trading in the market were Vitacress, Lee Brothers (potato merchants whose signage can still be seen in the market), Manny Sugarman, Eddy Robbins, Verde, AW Bourne and Elsey and Bent. JO Sims, the main importer for South African citrus fruit (Outspan), were also located in the market. Borough Market has become a fashionable place to buy food. It has been promoted by British television chefs and has been used as a film set. Notable films with scenes filmed in the streets around the market include: Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004).[11] It also appeared in the Savage Garden music video for "Hold Me". In 1998, the artist Anna Best staged an event in Borough Market entitled "The Wedding Project'" commissioned by Tate Modern. As reported by the Evening Standard, the market is now available to hire for private events. The Market's layout reflects its rich history, with a warren of passageways and open spaces providing atmosphere and offering shoppers the thrill of new discoveries.
Three Crown Square, the Market's largest trading area, is devoted to produce, including fruit and veg, meat, fish and cheese, while the spaces around the periphery offer a colourful and eclectic blend of foodstuffs from all over the world. Borough Market is located in the heart of central London, easily accessible by train, tube, bus, bike or on foot.

Oh my goodness!! what a vlog! a work well done capturing the original sounds of the surroundings. It was fantastic! It felt like one was there walking through all the people. I was salivating all the way watching the amazing and variety of foods, vegetables, fruits, delicacies, pastries, cheeses, everything! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. What an experience for someone who's never been there. Greetings.

[@GIRLINPARADISE]

yes, I agree - I buy every time I go there. They're alone worth the visit :). It's my favourite market in London

[@haywardsmith3283]

Just returned to the US From London today. I had an awesome time. Used Airbnb as you suggested. Stayed in Westminster in walking distance to almost everything I wanted to see. Your advice was spot on. I did go the market. They had everything you could have wanted. The pork sandwich was off the chain. Checked out China Town. You have to go to Young Cheng for lunch. Great Dim Sum and the best roasted duck and pork I have ever had. Very reasonably priced. High five. You made my trip great. Oh. I was there during the last incident. I had no idea that anything had happened. Friends from the US messaged me to see if I was okay. That is how I found out. Had a truly wonderful time.

[@GIRLINPARADISE]

I'm very happy you had a good time :) - put a smile on my face :). Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know I appreciate it :) xx

Hey, how much did your apartment cost for a night? Was it expensive? And where did you stay? Was it a hostel (I'm not sure that's the right name (it's the place cheaper that a hotel and where a room can be shared by 4 and more people)) or an apartment? Thank you for your answer

Londoners can be mighty fooled.. must say ;))

[@GlassChild666]

Shut it Giulia , animals were meant for us to eat.

[@danielandries3240]

It's all crap and expensive. Fruit juice from a box , not real fruits , old street food , they salt it so it does not rot for days , I would not try the seafood like oysters and stuff since it gets old and you might get poisoned. Crap , crap , crap ! No parking too.

[@sleepcrime]

Daniel Andries lol, you joker. "No parking" hahahaha. Surprised you didn't tell people they can get it cheaper at Lidl.
