    Incredible selection of foods. Artisanal and traditional alike, there's something for everyone. I could have spent all day here eating and drinking my way through the stalls. Great option for lunch.

    Foodies' heaven! Come on Thursday with less crowd. Get a coffee at Monmouth, then Richard Haward's oysters as starter, and choice of a good wrap from Fish! or Chorito. And sample the CHEESE and olives

    Go to Kappacasein (find it on 4sq. The location is accurate). It's grilled cheese heaven. As good as the grilled cheese sandwich may be, you should try the Raclette AKA Heart Attack on a Plate

    They have everything you can possibly imagine and more. Just love the atmosphere. ✨Try to avoid popular times it can get very crowded.

    One of the three must see markets in London after Portobello and Camden, but this one is quite different as it mainly about food and fresh vegetable and fruits. Come on Thur., Fri., or Sat.

    Bustling, busy, but an absolute must if you're visiting London! It is covered so no worries if it is raining. Stalls offer lots of great produce. Food stands are great. I recommend Soul Food!

    Fresh Fruit & Veggies. Must visit in London. One of the best coffees in London: pop into Monmouth coffee shop: avoid Mornings, otherwise you will definitely be stuck in 20m queue. But it's worth it!

    One of the most magical places in London if you're a foodie. Make sure to try the mushroom pâté at "paté moi" and grab a coffee at Monmouth! The pottery at Richard Bramble also makes for fab gifts.

    Quite possibly tastiest and most generous hog roast roll ever, served with crackling and gorgeous bread. Just perfect! (You'll find them right next to the church across from fish!)

    Borough Market is a London institution! The market is over 1000 years old, but operating in the current location since the 1700s. It’s a celebration of food! A must visit for foodies!

    Borough Market must be on your list whenever you visit London. Go there early and hungry. It is best to go there with a group so you can try as many places as you can without getting full quickly.

    The only problem with this market is that no matter what food you get, you’ll want what everyone else has. Eat all the things.

    More of a market where you buy items to take with you instead of prepared items to eat there, though there's a good selection of both! Fun to walk around, lots of free samples

    No trip to LDN is complete without a visit to Borough market; stop by the duck sandwich shop and prepare to be amazed. Same applies for Porteña, the Argentinean empanadas shop. Tons of fresh produce
