Did you know

The market sits under railway arches built between 1836 and 1839 for the London and Greenwich Railway, described as the world's earliest elevated railway. It grew from Borough Market traders who set up in the arches.

Local tip

Arrive right at opening (10am Saturday) to beat the crowds and avoid the 12:30-2pm bottleneck under the arches, or go Sunday afternoon when it's quieter and vendors start discounting.
