Borough
Market |
|
|
Located
under the railway, this covered food market is one of the city's largest and oldest.
On Saturdays, there's a bustling farmer's market where you can pick up fresh
and organic produce, as well as the kind of home-made food that's difficult
to come by in your local supermarket - organic seasonal fruit, confectionery,
mushrooms, chutneys, jams, and an array of different breads and cheeses. Borough
Market's surrounding Victorian architecture has proved a popular set for
British films such as Bridget Jones' Diary and Lock, Stock & Two Smoking
Barrels. |
