While Britain might not be the place I think of first when discussing food, London is in fact a city where one can discover a great variety of cooking.: INSPIRATION AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE OF NATIONAL ANDINTERNATIONAL NICHE MARKET

After all, isn’t this capital one of the most multi-cultured cities in the world? Well, the food of course reflects that
– in every corner there will be restaurants or markets to which people bring typical dishes from their countries,
showing off the taste of their cultures and attempting to delight consumers with them.
During the last week, I had the chance to walk around this immense city, experiencing a melting pot of smells and flavours. Here I will try describe some of what I saw and tasted.

A mere 3 minute walk from London Bridge station there is Borough Market, which has existed since the 11th century.: BOROUGH MARKET

It is probably, from the ones I was able to visit, the market with the nicest “traditional” vibe. It stands below train lines, with these big green metal columns spread across its grounds, offering an unique view. Situated next to the Southwark Cathedral and in front of the tall glass building named The Shard, it is involved by a peculiar contrast of “old” and “new”.
Here you can find some street food stalls, but mostly a lot of fresh products, from fish to eggs and vegetables. Everything high quality.
