Borough Market has been synonymous with food as far back as 1014. Quite frankly it is heaven to me. It's my 'kid in candy store' place. I absolutely, completely, entirely love it. That's the gushing bit over. Now to what they provide...
Aside from selling top notch ingredients they also sell artisanal food to eat on the go (in my opinion some of the best street food you can get in London). It's a labyrinth. A foodies dream. Everything you look at is produced with such care and thought that you can't help but walk around in awe.
If you're going to eat and not just shop for ingredients then you can choose from every kind of food imaginable. I honestly don't know where to begin when describing the variety on offer, all I can say is it's highly unlikely they won't have what you're looking for.
They have everything from Indian, Chinese, British, Mexican, Pastries, Cheeses, Preserves, Sauces, Meats, Hog Roasts, Soul Food to Flowers and Tableware. All stand next to each other with a lot more around the corner. It's never ending and eclectic as hell.
If you decide to go I advise that you get there early as it dies down in the early afternoon and you won't get the true vibe of the market when it reaches its tail end. Part of the fun of the market is the hustle of it all, market traders shouting, smells of fresh food wafting in the air etc...
We had a wonderful Sausage Sandwich with Caramelised Onion Chutney on crusty yet soft bread (£6.50). I have no problem parting with money if the ingredients are good, and at Borough Market pretty much everything they sell is above par.
