Borough Market

(copy from website)
Borough Market is busy, noisy and bursting with wonderful produce. It’s best to come early and bring a large, strong bag or a shopping trolley. If you’re not familiar with the produce on the stalls, or you’re not sure how to cook it, just ask: the traders will be delighted to tell you about their specialities, where they come from and how to make the most of them. Look round carefully before you buy – the Market sells some expensive delicacies but there are also lots of delicious cheaper cuts of meat and good-value seasonal fish, vegetables and fruit.

The Market consists of four important areas:

* Crown Square, the area bounded by Southwark Street, Stoney Street and Bedale Street.
* The Green Market, the area beneath the railway bridges north east of Bedale Street beside the cathedral.
* The Jubilee Market, location of the 2006 Christmas Market.
* The shops and restaurants which surround the Market, located in Stoney Street, Park Street and Bedale Street.

Don’t miss any of them: Borough Market is rather a maze, but exploration yields delicious rewards!

There are a couple of DSLR User readers Scarebare and IvoreTower present. It was good to see new faces to share and enjoy a day wandering and taking photographs.

Check out the photographs taken by everyone present!

Special thanks to the entertainers for letting us close without grumping, to the lovely lady at Capel Antiques on #2 front centre stall, 100 Portobello Road for allowing us to photograph her silverwares, the crafty guy who sells beautifully crafted home decorations, the camera guy with his vintage cameras and a small selection of OM lenses I want to buy and the toy seller Milan Ardalic close to the bridge. Not to forget the Castle pub on 225 Portobelo Rd where we had our late lunch. It was great and thanks for not stopping us from using our cameras.
