Here, you’ll find everything from artisanal cheeses and organic produce to mouth-watering street food from around the world. Whether you’re popping by for fresh ingredients or meeting friends for lunch, a beer or dinner, the market’s buzzing atmosphere always offers something new.

Why Borough?
The newly developed Borough Yards blends modern architecture with the area’s industrial heritage and is home to fashionable boutiques, art galleries, and some fantastic new restaurants, coffee shops, pop-ups plus a brand new Everyman cinema. It’s become a bit of a creative hub, perfect for catching an exhibition, enjoying a glass of wine, or simply people-watching in the lively open spaces.
A Mix of History & Modernity
The looming presence of the iconic Shard is a constant reminder of the area’s modernity, in contrast to many hidden cobbled alleys and quiet back-streets lined with traditional pubs and independent shops. Whether wandering by the Thames or browsing the markets, Borough’s relaxed vibe encourages you to slow down and soak in its character. It’s a neighbourhood where history meets modern London living, with a strong sense of community.
