Borough Market

Today we took a visit to Borough market, a lovely market with a ton of great food and quaint little shops. I didn’t stay too long as I had a headache but what I did see was really interesting. The market was cramped and felt like it was hidden away which gave it a feel of adventure and mystery. There were too many food stands to count and all of them smelled amazingly delicious. I had a cookie from a sweet stand as I wasn’t all that hungry. Some of the stands looked very interesting though like a kebab stand with a large hunk of meat they carved from and a hibachi stand where they made the fried rice and other foods in front of you. After looking around I thought many of the shops were neat but as I didn’t need to get clothes and wasn’t all that hungry I left without purchasing anything. I did pass by a pipe shop that looked really neat and had a very large gandalf pipe I thought about getting but as it was 90 pounds I turned and kept walking. I didn’t see any street performers when I was there but I also wasn’t really paying too much attention as I was considering today a snatch and grab cookie mission. Borough market is a very cool place to stop by for tourists looking to try new foods and get exotic clothing. Though it’s not my cup of tea I would say that anyone thinking about going should definitely give it a good try as it might surprise you and uncover some treasure you didn’t know you could live without. I would also advise to be prepared for the large crowd as there must have been about five hundred people by the time I left and with the location as snug as it is, it was quite an experience.
