The best day is Saturday but you have to get there early-ish so you can check out all the stalls before it's too overwhelming with crowds. The first thing we do is head for Monmouth for the best cappuccinos (and every style of coffee drink) in London. Then we aimlessly stroll around the maze of stalls, tasting all the cheeses, olives, meats and breads. The atmosphere is the best. In the morning it's all about coffee and breakfast, but as soon as it's an acceptable lunch hour you will find people standing around drinking beers and wine, either from the stalls or from the surrounding pubs and cafes.
If you are ever in London, this is one place you have to visit! It's my all time favourite way to start the day!

Great photos Sophie, I love it too!
ReplyDeleteI usually go on a Friday though & that's my favourite day, slightly less tourists & more office workers & locals....I'm not sure if the opening time of midday is correct because whenever I go early (10am), everything is open :) I'm a huge Monmouth coffee fan, it's the only coffee as far as I'm concerned - no wonder their queues never seem to get any shorter!!
I'm going to be thinking about the market all day now!! X
Everyone keeps on telling me I should go. I love markets and miss them so much (I come from the south of France..where markets are everywhere most days!) So that's my plan for the weekend. Thanks for reminding me! X
ReplyDeletefantastic pictures. everything looks so nice.

How fun! I love local markets!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually planning a trip to England to stay with some family at the end of the year. This is definitely on my to-do list! Love how bright and colorful the market is!
ReplyDeleteI've been to London countless of times but somehow I never got to explore Borough Market... It's on top of my list now though. Your photos are awesome! xx
