If you're looking for some of the best produce and baked goods in London, Borough Market is the place to be. The market has been around for more than 1,000 years in one form or another so needless to say they know what they're doing.
The market is super popular amongst locals and tourists alike so make sure you get there at 10, right when it opens so you can enjoy the market before the real crowds get there. If you have time to see everything go for it, if not these stalls were my top picks.
Bread Ahead
Bread Ahead bakes all of its goods daily before the market. Their doughnuts and bread are one of the first things you see when entering the market, meaning their stall is well worth a look. I got a raspberry jelly doughnut and a mini baguette which were both awesome.
Borough Olives
These olives were SO good. I got the Italian Green Olives and I honestly regret not getting more from there. I would honestly consider going back to the market just to go here.
The Gated Garden
While I was waiting for my friend to get to the market I explored The Gated Garden's stall and I was very tempted to buy a bunch of daffodils for £1. I restrained myself, but their flowers were so lovely I couldn't help to look.
Furness Fish & Game
I have absolutely no idea how to cook with things like octopus and sea bass, but if you do Furness Fish & Game has amazing displays of fresh seafood. Be sure to check out their stall even if you can't cook.
Turnips
Probably some of the best looking produce at the market. Not only was it beautifully displayed, but it was super fresh. I got blood oranges imported from Sicily and fennel from here.
They also had some super are aesthetically pleasing mushrooms that looked delicious.
Paul Crane
Paul Crane also had some great looking produce. They were running a deal on avocados (4 for £1) so you know I had to pick some of those up.
Chez Michelle
Chez Michelle was probably one of the most enchanting stalls in the market. The second I saw a cart full of the cutest mini cacti, I was there. I mean look at them!
La Tua Pasta
La Tua Pasta makes all kinds of pasta fresh daily. I picked up some orecchiette which was delicious. The pasta comes in family size packages, but don't worry if you're eating for one like me it can be frozen and eaten one serving at a time.
You're certain to leave with way more food than necessary so come prepared with an empty stomach and reusable bags. Hopefully, you'll leave the market with your bags full and your pockets empty. Don't forget to leave room for dinner (and maybe some of the wine you bought too)!
