Is Borough Market worth it for foodies?

Worth itFor food

For food & drink, Borough Market delivers.

A historic covered food market crammed with cheese, charcuterie, fresh produce and excellent street food, a short walk from Tate Modern and the river. A foodie's free-to-browse joy. Catch: it's rammed and slow-moving at lunch, prices are high, and it's quieter early in the week.
