Is Fidget starting a side-business? You might well ask…

Actually no. It’s just that the lovable foodhound got a bit carried away having visited this Aladdin’s cave of culinary delights this week – he can’t stop thinking about it. Better yet, Trota was there with the camera.

Beautiful displays of colourful fruits, vegetables and other fresh produce – wonderful fish, meat, delicatessen and artisan foods – Borough Market truly is a flavour-seeker’s paradise.

It’s open most days, but really comes alive Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Popular with chefs, city workers and deli hunters, Borough Market is a must-go if you are passionate about food.

To find the best selection you need to get there early: preparations start a couple of hours before opening time.

And it can get really busy at peak hours…lunchtime especially.

So if you’re planning to visit London, or you live here and haven’t found time to stop by yet, you really must make it one of your destinations: quality bread, salami, cheese…the real deal.

Above all, though, it’s totally life-enhancing: stacks of fresh produce, a cheesy grin or two, and even the occasional self-conscious dad chancing a selfie…you really can’t go wrong.
