Borough Food Market

Sorry for the long delay since my last post!  What have we been up to the last few weeks?  A lot of fun!  At the end of July we spent 10 days in England with Cillian's family in what will likely be our last international trip for a while.  We scheduled the trip around Cillian's cousin's wedding, which was beautiful and a great time.  Then the bride and groom were gracious enough to host us later that same week in their London home and show us the sights. 

One highlight of our time in London was the trip to Borough Market.  This is a huge food market where vendors sell everything from flavored oils and spices to sweets to fresh raw cheeses to street food ready for eating.  It was wonderful!  For any true food lover, you cannot leave London without a visit here.  Plan to spend at least a few hours!






Borough Market is located a short walk from the London Bridge tube stop and bus terminal.  Although it is in the heart of London and close to many other sights, we definitely wouldn't have found it without Dave and Eve's guidance.  If you make it to Borogh Market, I definitely recommend getting there before the lunch hour, buying some goodies, and then sitting to eat on the lawn of the adjacent Southwark Cathedral.
