Three days a week Borough Market comes alive with British and international stallholders, selling their high-quality produce to thousands of Londoners and tourists. This is possibly London's most popular and successful food market, spread across three main sites under London Bridge. Although Borough Market is open on Thursdays and Fridays, it is Saturday when it really comes alive and turns into a thriving celebration of food. The best thing about the market is that it is absolutely free to visit and you can usually fill yourself up to the brim with free samples, from various cheeses to olives and Italian meats. However, there are a number of stalls selling lunch snacks such as falafels and restaurants in and around the main market areas. Produce sold at Borough Market might be more expensive than a regular market, but the quality is unquestionable and where else could you find a London stall selling ostrich burgers?
