Borough Market

I had been to London before, a few years ago, and one of my favorite places when I went was Borough Market.  I loved all the different food there and even went back multiple times.  Visiting London again excited me because I was so happy to visit Borough Market, but said it disappointed me.  The Borough Market I remember was a lot of food stalls making meals; however, now it’s most market stands selling food to cook.  It was a market to get a meal, but now it’s more like a farmer’s market.  , and I went there several times to try more food.  Coming back now one of the things I was most excited for was going back to Borough and getting to have the food again.  Sadly though, Borough market has changed a lot since I was last here.  Before, Borough market was similar to 7 dials market with a ton of places to buy meals but now it’s more like a farmer’s market with most of the places being to buy cheese or vegetables.  There are still places there selling ready to eat food like the pie stand or the Turkish Delight place but there are also several cheese shops and vegetable stands.  While in Borough market I had a pain au chocolat from a pastry stand, ice cream from an ice cream stand, and I had Turkish Delight for the first time which was really good and made me completely understand why the kid in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe would betray everyone for it.  While there I also tried some of the cheeses and one of the cheese places and it was incredible.  I tried this seasoning cheese meant for salads and pasta and it was incredibly flavorful.  Overall, while Borough Market is still really cool I think Borough Market is more suited for locals now because of all the non-ready to eat food now sold there.
