Borough Market
...TOP London Markets
Borough Market is a traditional London food market full of color and aromas which will get
your taste buds racing.
It has occupied its present site for 250 years and is Londons oldest food
market.
The market is spread over a few small cobbled streets close to Southwark Cathedral, Vinopolis City of Wine and Clink Prison Museum.
Borough is the oldest part of the London borough of Southwark and for many years was
famous for its bawdy inns and unsavoury lifestyle.
Not far from the market on London's Bankside is Globe
Theatre which is just a few yards from where the original theatre once stood.
