I Heart Borough Market
My love for this market has more than provided great annoyance to those around me. I once dragged one of my friends to Borough three days in a row and my boyfriend often gets a defeated annoyance when I announce that we are indeed going to Borough yet again. It’s safe to say that this is my favourite market in London.
Located, just outside of London Bridge station, Borough Market is over 250 years old and arguably the best place to purchase London’s finest foods. If you’re visiting London, it’s one of the best places to eat very well for under ten pounds.
Now there are a lot of choices to be had at Borough. Even if you just stroll up to a random food stand you will most likely not be disappointed. Here is my list of the top 5 things you must eat while at Borough market.
1. Chorizo sandwich from Brindisia Chorizo. Get there early as you will be facing a long line up or worse yet — no more sandwiches!
2. Chicken burger from Wyndham House Poultry. Who knew mayo, salsa and grainy mustard could work so perfectly together?
3. Beef burger topped with bacon from Northfield Farm. You know your arteries will hate you for it, but it’s too good to care.
4. Roast pork with crackling and applesauce sandwich from Roast. You’ve never had a piece of pork so tender or a piece of crackling so crispy.
5. Pork pie from Mrs. King’s Pies. Real English people eat their pork pies cold so that they can taste the gelatinous goodness of the cold pork filling.
