Even though I've visited London many times, somehow I always missed out on visiting its most famous market. It could be that I didn't want to go at all because all the other English markets that I saw didn't impress me that much. Anyway, this time I decided not to give it up. Like the Polish saying goes "I actually enjoyed myself!".
The Borough Market sits on the south side of the Thames River. It's very easy to get to the market from anywhere in the city because it's right near the London Bridge train station. The current market is the successor of the one that existed near the London Bridge during the Middle Ages, and that caused heavy traffic jams thoughout the generations. Some of the market's buildings were built around the middle of the 19th century. The market is divided into different sections, but the small allies that surround it are also filled with interesting findings. Please notice the market's opening hours. While some of the stands are open throughout the week, the busiest time is Thursday through Saturday. Saturday is the longest day the market is open.
