    After coming here over 15 years, I recommend the Northfields Salt Beef Mini Magoos granola, Gumi cheeses, the fruit and veg from Teds Vegs and chocolate from Rabot Estate.

    Such a nice market! With all kinds of goodies - cheeses, wines, nice little bars and restaurants. You could easily spend a few hours there without noticing!

    SO many good food options, I ate some delicious Thai and my sister had a vegan burger! Not very much seating so eating was hard but great atmosphere and food!

    Look for the truffle stall, and ask if they have the truffle brie. Astonishingly good with a fresh French baguette from the next stall over.

    Best to go with a hungry stomach. The market is full of delicious foods to eat there and also take home to cook. Morning-Lunch is a good time to go

    Not only is this is a market, you also get great food. Get some oysters and a glass of bubbly. Walk around there's fish & chips too. Prepare your stomach!

    Outstanding gem of a market. Some stalls only open Thursday to Sunday. Grab fresh bread, artisanal cheeses and pick some cured meats. Sit down.

    Good things never stay a secret and Borough market just keeps on expanding to fit all the tourists in. Try the prawn pad thai. Walker's Mayfield cheese does not disappoint.

    The raclette place is epic. It's in the north section of the market by the church yard. The raclette line is in front and the grilled cheese sandwich line is on the side by the entrance to the church.

    The most well known, but not sure the best food market. Very crowded and not that many stalls. Has lovely stalls with cheeses and meats to@take home though.

    Don't waste your money at those crappy fast food franchises along the river. Here's the best food on Southbank. Variety of stalls with pulled pork, fish & chips, German sausages, Lebanese falafel...

    Food from all over Europe, a little bit expensive, but the quality is high and there are a lot of slow food stores. There is also one of the most traditional barber shops in London.

    The original farmer's market. My favorite spot in london. Plan a picnic and buy your cheese and wine here - or have lunch here. There's wine bar - and tons of amazing food on display.

    Foodies paradise. Great street food of all kinds. Bring your cash for the food stalls. In winter time look for mulled wine.
