The service is excellent and they will order things for you if you want something they dont stock. There is a post office, without the usual queues in post offices nowadays. The cafe is excellent value for money, good service, local home baked foods, yummy cakes and desserts, cooked foods or a simple sandwich, (freshly made, with salad and crisps on the side). The cafe is very popular but not noisy. I am disabled and this shop is a godsend as I cant walk around big shops and supermarkets but I can get most things here.

Loved Borough Market!

On my recent trip I tried a couple of oysters, picked up some tinned fish to bring back and went to the duck/anchovy shop to grab anchovy and crab butter along with some little pots of mustards to try. There's really everything here from the most delicious spelt risotto to fresh seafood, paella and lobster. It can definitely get crowded on weekends but that's part of the fun.

This is one of London's oldest markets located in Southwark. Located at the foot of London…read moreBridge,this market has been operating at this location since 1756. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed! It was hard to see all the various vendors as some of the food lines were really long, especially for the fish and chips. There is very limited seating in the market so we elected to eat outside of the market as there are many restaurants and pubs in the area. From spices,olive oils and a variety of food choices, this market is a must visit when in Central London.

These range from seasonal fresh fruit and veg, frozen local veg and fruit mixes, meats, eggs, dairy, ice creams, breads, drinks etc. You get a lovely environment, and genuinely helpful friendly staff. There is also a fishmonger there twice a week and they also sell bales of straw and hay (great for pet rabbits etc!) Well worth a visit.

This shop is a real find. They sell a HUGE variety of good quality plants incredibly cheaply (you…read morewill never go to B&Q garden centre again), but also a very good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables in the shop. We buy almost all of our fruit and veg from here. The owner buys his fruit and veg stock on a Friday, mainly from local small scale producers and I much prefer to get stuff from him than the market, as it's not battered and tastes wonderful. Some of the stock is a bit past it's best towards the end of the week as it's not refreigerated, but once he's been out on a Friday everything is nice and fresh for most of the week. Highly Higly recommended and well worth the trip from Bury St Edmunds. You will make much more of a saving than you will have spent on fuel This is not the nursery with all the signposts in Risby (this is much much better), but is tucked away in between the Truck stop and the White Horse pub)

My local market is small but plentiful with food stalls from all over the world…read more As well as street food, there are also flower stores, cheese stores, specialist artesian food stores, meat stores, a dog treat store, and even a hemp store! They only accept cash so bring plenty or face a ~£2 surcharge at the only near by cash machine in Londis. After eating be sure to wonder around the vast gardens of Alexandra palace and grab a cake at the garden centre nearby. This is my favourite nearby place to bring my dog for walks.

There's probably only about 15 stalls, but you could do a decent food shop here consisting of fruit & veg, milk, eggs, bread, fish, olives, every type of sausage you can imagine (I settled on pork leek and chilli), amazing cuts of pork and even pre-prepared goodies like pies, chutneys and cakes. And if you get hungry while browsing you can grab a little pie to eat there and then - I enjoyed my butternut squash & spinach, and my hubby devoured his chilli beef & cheddar before I could even snaffle some. If pie isn't your thing, there was also curries, toasted sarnies and all other sorts of goodies. There was also a stall selling hot drinks which even on this sunny Sunday had a sizeable queue. ...when can I go back?

I ended up here by mistake after staying with my friend in Morden. It was early on a Saturday and I…read morehave to say that after the night I'd had I was rather reluctant to get out of bed. Well, it turns out it was worth it. This place is dedicated to local Farmers who are growing and raising the produce themselves. After reading 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' by Michael Pollan earlier this year (I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how the food gets on your table) I have developed a keen interest in buying my food in this way, and it appears so have a lot of other people as these kind of farmer's markets are increasing substantially in popularity. This market is held weekly in the grounds of a local school and has a very good choice of organic vegetables & fish as well as free range meat (chicken, beef, lamb, pork, sausages, bacon). You can also find buffalo mozzarella, fruit juices, cold cuts and yoghurt. The stall holders are very keen to explain how it may have been grown, reared and caught and although it's a little more expensive than your local supermarket the pay-off is taste, quality and ultimately your health.
