Borough Market is just all sorts of awesome. As part of our excursion to the South Bank area, this was our first stop. We took a bus to London Bridge station, and from there, simply followed the crowds to Borough Market. 

There are plenty of very gorgeous pictures you can take around here. The market is partly under a bridge, amidst plenty of winding cobblestone streets.  The market is quite the destination for both locals and tourists alike for fresh produce and all sorts of goodies.   Small restraurants and wine bars dot the area too, great for hanging out.  It was simply a feast of the senses.  We highly recommend coming here on an empty stomach and eating your way through!

That curry sure looks good!

Loads of fresh fish.

I love the heavily textured leaves (kale?) against the smooth papery contours of the garlic. 

Look at those huge fluffy meringues on the left!

DJKung wanted to warm up with a bit of chai.  Unfortunately, the tea here was rather bland with very little spice.

Bread puddings and muffins.

CHEEEEESE!!! and sausage!  Londoners sure have it lucky!  There were a bunch of stalls that had soft cheeses, country cheeses, big wheels of cheese, and various French cheeses. 

Here's another shot of those fluffy meringues.  And fruit tarts too.

Fresh shucked oysters, from local sources.

Pies and pasties.

Frrresh meats here!  Since the holidays were coming about, fresh game (especially pheasant) was quite popular.

Various brews.

Look at these gorgeous mushrooms!  I liked how they had a bunch of wild mushrooms available.

Breads.
