London's Borough Market is a popular market specialising in fine food, fruit and vegetables. It has become one of the largest food markets in the world and is known for its high quality and huge range of international foods offered for sale. It is situated on Borough High Street, close to Southwark Cathedral.

The market quite likely dates back to Roman times, although the present buidlings were not erected until 1851. The beautiful Art Deco entrance was added in 1932. As the market grew in popularity, refurbishment took place in 2001. The South Portico from Covent Garden Floral Hall was added in 2004. The area is currently under threat of demolition as part of the Thameslink Programme.

Borough Market has been brought to fame by several TV chefs who have promoted it, and by a number of top films which used it as a setting. Look out for the Market on Bridget Jones's Diary; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Borough Market is open every morning, but only offers retail sales on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
