Borough Market

This is  London's oldest fruit and vegetable market and was voted the top tourist attraction a couple of years ago. It is situated off Borough High street which is near London Bridge.


There has been a market  here since the 13th century. Nowadays it consists of a number of small often local producers of specialist products. The quality of the produce is quality controlled ensuring that only the best is allowed to be sold. But don't go here looking for a bargain as prices can be quite steep.



The plastic bags full of water hanging above he fish apparently keep the flies away!
No market would be any good without a pub across the road.
