Borough Food Market<br />
- Knowledge, Service, Traceability<br />
- Handy for all your food shopping<br />
Borough Market – the only fully independent market in<br />
London – is owned by a charitable trust, The Borough Market<br />
(Southwark), run by a board of volunteer trustees.<br />
“What Borough offers is an experience; an echo, for those<br />
who can afford it, of the excitement that food markets<br />
once brought to the cities. Borough is not about buying<br />
food at all, it is about celebrating it.“<br />
- Carolyn Steel (“Hungry City”, p.107)<br />
Since roman times there has been trading at the site of todays<br />
Borough Market: as far back as 1014, London Bridge attracted<br />
traders selling grain, fish, vegetables and livestock.<br />
In the 13th century traders were relocated to what is now<br />
Borough High Street and a market has existed there ever<br />
since.<br />
In 1755, the market was closed by Parliament, but a group of<br />
Southwark residents bought a patch of land known locally as<br />
The Triangle and reopened the market.<br />
Today the market still feeds this core community and has<br />
grown to over 130 individual stalls. Alongside the original<br />
fruit, vegetables, bakers and butchers it now offers a huge<br />
variety of produce.<br />
Borough market is located in Southwark, south of the tames<br />
river by the London bridge connecting it to the City of London.<br />
It is accessible by bus, train and metro (Borough / London<br />
Bridge). The market is open to all sides, the main entrance<br />
is at Southwark Street.<br />
Opening hours are Thursdays 11am - 5pm, Fridays 12pm - 6pm<br />
and Saturdays 8am - 5pm. The shops that surround the Market<br />
open on additional days and a few select Stands in the Middle<br />
Row Market are also open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.<br />
