I’ve resisted blogging Borough Market for a number of reasons. It’s one of my favourite places in London, bustling and full of treats – savoury and sweet, it has the best of all things seasonal and fresh and is packed with artisan producers willing to share their wares. I’m a purist (you may have spotted that) and I want to do it properly and give it the justice it deserves, dedicating a day to it with a decent camera, with purchases under my arm to sample at home and experiment with in following posts.
So, not to give the wrong impression, I haven’t done this and will remain true to my word – you’ll have to wait for that lengthy post. I do have some photo’s that I took whilst wandering there last Saturday though, and I’d like to share those.
When I lived in UK I used to walk around here all the time! It is such a lively market with true quality british products, the market stall holders have pride in their products. I now live in France where markets are like this one even in the smallest villages. English towns and villages deserve the same don’t you think?
Hi Sylvie! It is a lovely market & I couldn’t agree more with you. You have such lovely local markets in France for real people on real budgets with, more importantly, real food. I raised the point last year, in fact, on a post about a Parisian local market – http://eatlikeagirl.com/2007/09/19/parisian-local-food-market/
It is something that alot of people want, so, hopefully it will happen. We are moving that way, albeit slowly. Did you ever go to any of the London Farmer’s Market’s while you were here? I find those quite good.
