As all the UK's foodies will attest London's Borough Market is the place to go. A veritable mecca for food
lovers as well as the capitals chefs it has steadily grown since 1999. Everything from fresh fish to veg to
tableware can be found here. Shops line the market with Brindisa heading the line up for Spanish produce and Konditor
& Cook for cakes and other delectibale sweet things.
The English Patis blog has just posted a series of photos on the market for those looking for a taster. There is also a 'gastrotour' on the 14th April that details the history of the area and takes in tastings and meetings with stall holders and the like. The tout includes lunch and costs £50. (07956 152899).

Oh, I am so sorry I missed this market when I was in London! Ah, well--all the more reason to go back.

This market is fascinating, we do our weekly grocery shopping here and the selection and quality of the food is on a different level compared to the identifood of the supermarkets.
The biggest surprise we got when we started buying our food here was how much better simple things like tomatoes can taste compared to the cardboardy textured versions we used to get in supermarkets. Not to mention the almost wild flavour of the fish and meets.
Highly recommended!
