Worth itIn a day
Short trip or not, keep Borough Market.
Allow 1–2 hrs.
A historic covered food market crammed with cheese, charcuterie, fresh produce and excellent street food, a short walk from Tate Modern and the river. A foodie's free-to-browse joy. Catch: it's rammed and slow-moving at lunch, prices are high, and it's quieter early in the week.
