Borough Market, SE1

Arguably London’s favourite foodie meeting point, Borough Market needs little introduction. A stone’s throw from London Bridge station and in the shade of the imposing Southwark Cathedral, this massive, centuries-old space with its photogenic halls and buzzing communal tables is an experience in itself. And just wait till you start trying out the latest global flavours dished out in the dozens of stalls, stands, shops and restaurants here.

Larger producers and merchants gather at Three Crown Square; small, specialist produce traders at the Green Market; while the Borough Market Kitchen is where you'll find the best in street food.

A fantastic range of olive oils from artisan producers, raw honey, truffle products, wines and spirits await you at organic Greek grocers Oliveology (https://oliveology.co.uk). Humble Crumble (www.humble-crumble.com/) doesn't stop at custard but sprinkles its luscious artisan creations with dried rose petals and edible glitter. Or opt for a curry cheese BAO to be instantly transported to the late-night grill houses favourite with Asian commuters, that inspired Taiwanese restaurant BAO Borough (https://baolondon.com)

Finally, a range of cookery demonstrations, masterclasses and tips, courtesy of the Borough Talks podcast, will turn you into a bonafide foodie in no time.
