Borough Market

Borough Market is exactly that, a market in Borough.  But it’s not just any market, it’s a pretty awesome market steeped in history and is a tourist destination in its own right.

Borough MarketBorough Market has been around since the 11th century where traders back then would sell their goods – anything from fish, livestock and vegetables – although back then they were by London Bridge. It was only in the 13th century that the market was relocated to where it now stands on Borough High Street.

So on the Saturday we were there, I found myself there with my parents.  My mom loves this place and she’s always buying new things to try, so she needed to go to restock on her latest item du jour.  Borough Market 5 Borough Market 2There are other stores and restaurants on the fringe, but I usually skip them. You really want to get stuck into the actual market.  There are so many things you can not only buy, but try it out first!  Borough Market 1 img_1617

So I generally always get some fresh apple cider but this time we got swept into the market and I didn’t get any. I was a bit gutted by it, guess I’ll have to go back!Borough Market 3 img_1628 I love, love mushrooms.  And how pretty are they? I didn’t even know they came in different colors!Borough Market 11 Borough Market 10I absolutely love truffles and love how the vendor encourages you to smell them.  Do you like truffles?Borough Market 7 img_1629Borough Market 4Basically, anything you can think of, they have.  They even have things you didn’t even know you wanted or needed! Especially after you’ve tried a sample! Borough Market 5 Borough Market 6 Borough Market 9Borough Market 12 img_1652And not only that, you should definitely stop for nourishment and eat at one of the many stalls.  This time around, I was seriously craving a roast, so we went to the Roast restaurant for a proper sit down meal.  img_1660 img_1662After lunch, we left the hustle and bustle of Borough Market to hit up the hustle and bustle of Regent Street. Needed to work off the calories. Regent Street, London, UKBorough Market should definitely be on your to-go-to list if you’ve never been to London.  But if you can’t make it during the day, then definitely go in the evening for some oysters and champagne!

Always looking for the next adventure; the next thrill. One day she will find home, most likely where she started off. But even then that's a convoluted answer!

Hi, I’m Julie

Hi, I’m Julie

Welcome to Jewels Wandering! I'm a serial expatter. Wait, is that even a word? I have been moving from one country to another since I was born, having most recently moved back to New York City from Singapore. We all have a story to tell and mine has definitely been an unconventional one. Let's be friends!
