Borough Market London – Must

Borough Market has a long history. However, despite living in the UK for almost 10 years, I had never heard of it until I read an article a few years ago on Yahoo Hong Kong! 
This lovely Market is located under a railway bridge at the London Bridge tube station. When arriving, the first thing I saw was a large pan full of delicious-looking paella slowly cooking in front of me. Then, walking further inside, my eyes were attracted by the wide variety of colourful food all around. Many sellers couldn't wait to give tasters of their fine products hoping that you would take out your wallet to buy some. 

Not only does the Market sell lunch boxes and desserts, but also fruit and veg, uncooked fish and meat. The Market itself is not a massive one but it is clean and has a lot of high-quality produce. Even non-foodies would be tempted to wonder around, exploring what's on offer, without realising the time. If you want to walk around the whole Market, make sure you visit on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, and allow an hour at the very least.
