You can take ages just wandering around the different stalls (there are over 100 in total), especially since most of them offer little tasters. Once you are done with tasting everything from cheeses, to oils, to sweets and meats you might not even feel the need to buy any actual food anymore. In all honesty though, you always end up buying something anyway, since there are just so many mouth-watering delicacies to be found here.
Whether you are after German sausages, Moroccan lamb skewers or even oysters, it is all here. Borough market is like a treasure trove full of food from all over the world. The market set up is a mix of take away stands, little open shops and coffee places, so you can hide out from the cold and relax with a nice coffee.
The main reason for the market's popularity is of course the quality of the food. This is probably also the reason, you can find so many German expats shopping here (one of German people's main complaints in the UK is probably food quality).
However, this quality comes at a price. You can calculate on average £3 to £6 per each item you buy and with so many amazing products, you can easily walk out there having spent well above £50.
If you like food in general, discovering new foods you didn't even know existed or just going for a stroll on a Saturday, Borough market is one of the great places in London to be.
