There’s been a market on this site for almost a thousand years and an article about the history makes great, fascinating and shocking reading on the website.
It is situated just five minutes from the site of the Globe theatre and the market traders proudly boast that, ‘Shakespeare was a Borough Market shopper’.
The market in recent years has put the emphasis very much on ‘sustainable food production’. It’s only fully open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
