London: Borough Market - Plan Your Visit

 

A food market that never stops evolving

Borough Market’s rich heritage – around 1,000 years of history – is part and parcel of its appeal, but our focus is very much on the here and now.

The Market, which is run by a charitable trust for the benefit of our community, has never stopped evolving.

A few decades ago, it was a wholesale market serving the greengrocers of south London; now it acts as a beacon for sustainable food production, short supply chains and social connection, drawing visitors from far and wide.
