The sun came out for a period of time today so I decided to make the most of it take a walk to Borough Market. It's a market that is basically for foods of all kinds. I really wanted to come by here the first time I arrived in London for vacation in 2009 but just didn't have the time. But am I glad that I got a chance to go this time...
Borough Market is FILLED with tourists and it is jam packed but the variety of foods and the smells... It is a feast for all your senses, believe me. All kinds of meats were available for sale from your prosciutto, different types of salami, to venison, to ostrict, to... basically anything you could think of. I had to really pick and choose which things I wanted to try. Definitely have to come here really hungry or famished in order to really appreciate it :)
Did I mention that I had the best Chicken burger ever? It was amazing and I'm not sure what herbs and spices that they put in this thing because it was just an explosion of flavor, but wow!
There was also this enormous lineup outside this place called, Monmouth. Since there is a huge lineup, it must be worthwhile seeing right? So I lined up and ordered a cup of coffee. It was easily the best I've had since I came to London. Up there with the best in Vancouver too but what is up with the one size only thing?
Overall, Borough Market is well worth visiting. I will definitely be back here. The only draw back is the crowds but in the quest for good food, that is a worthwhile sacrifice. It reminded me of Granville Island, only 5 times bigger and with better food!
Fun set of photos! I love the lively mood of markets like this and all the delicious food. I actually quite like the crowds in places like this :) That chicken burger certainly looks mouth-watering. What was the size of the coffee? I normally would need at least 16oz to feel satisfied.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Kelven, what great shots, my mouth is watering. It's so cool to see London through your photographic eyes :)

Wow kelven! Awesome shots! All of them! You are living in inspiration right now, right? :)
ReplyDeleteThe herb in that chicken burger could to be rúcula (I don't know its name in english)
I love specially the one with the view of the lights and the next one, with the ham bocatas ;)
Darn, if we only had one more day in London... I would have equally loved this place! Those macaroons look so good :)!
