Borough Market!

I love the energy in London Markets and wish we had more of them in America. Being able to wander around with a group and all get something unique is perfect. There is so much to see and you get to experience so many different cultures through foods and goods.  Nick, Alex, and I tried meat pies at Borough Market and mine was super enjoyable. I got a chicken and fungus pie and it tasted like a chicken pot pie but more savory, and the crust was flakey and perfect. Then, we got chocolate-covered strawberries which were so ripe and sweet. I don’t know how but every strawberry they had looked perfect. We didn’t see any performances while we were there, but it was so crowded we just found a corner and sat in it. That was my least favorite thing, the crowds and the lack of seating even though it is a mainly food market. I was interested in all of the fresh food markets but didn’t get anything as I don’t really have a place to store fresh stuff. Seeing octopus and giant fish sitting out was a little freaky. If I lived here I would totally get all of my fresh food from markets like Borough.

My favorite part of the market experience was wandering into an alley and finding a mini golf place. We decided to go in and ended up enjoying it so much! The course was so unique and actually hard but I love mini golf and I had a blast. There was a telephone booth course, an arcade game course, a giant wave and so much more. I love being able to find hidden gems while just walking around in London, it’s such a refreshing experience and not something we can do back in Arkansas where the town isn’t walkable.
