Our first day in London was a Friday & we spent the afternoon at Borough Market. Borough Market is London's oldest food market.
It was established on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans built the first London Bridge. It has occupied its present site for 250 years.
Today it continues as the largest market in London with an amazing array of fresh produce, cheese, meats & baked goods. As well as buying things to take home, you can eat your way through the markets various take away stands.
(this was the best toasted cheese!)While there we also stopped in at Neal's Yard Dairy, a cheese lover's paradise.

Kat,
What a great market, and that toasted cheese looks amazing!
I love Neal's Yard cheeses. They have a great farmhouse cheddar that is soooo good, Whole Foods carries their cheeses.
It's so true - lovely to visit markets in other cities, but difficult at the same time when you can't do any substantial cooking with it.
Looks like a lovely experience. You should check out FXcuisine. He just did a post on Neal's Yard.
Would love to visit that cheese shop!
Cheers,
elra
Oh wow - I have never seen the toasted cheese stall at Borough!
Hope you two had a great time!
Wow Kat, I have just look through your flickr pics. I am living vicariously through you! I loved it. The pic of the Polish Mexican Bistro totally cracked me up! Thank you for sharing!
I want to go to that market! It looks adorable and I bet they had so much good stuff.
Loos like a great trip! The markets look so fun- I didn't have chance to visit them when I was in London.
as much as i enjoy american markets, i know i'd enjoy a london market more. why, you ask? because the vendors have accents. :)
