Borough Market is London’s most renowned food market; a source of exceptional British and international produce. Since its renaissance as a retail market just over a decade ago, it has become a haven for anybody who cares about the quality and provenance of the food they eat - chefs, restaurateurs, passionate amateur cooks and people who just happen to love eating and drinking. But it’s not just the sheer quality of the food on offer that makes Borough Market special – it is also about the people and the place. The market is populated by a community of remarkable individuals from all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the world, all of whom care deeply about the food and drink on offer. Many of our stallholders are themselves producers – people who grow, rear or bake the food that they sell. Others are importers with intimate knowledge of whichever corner of the globe they source their products from. As a result, the market has become a vast repository of culinary knowledge and understanding. It’s a place to explore, to ask questions, to discover new flavours and to savour a unique atmosphere.

Thursday - 11AM to 5 PM

Friday - 12 PM to 6 PM

Borough Market Managing Director, Glenis Reagon said: "Borough Market’s Apple Day brought the rural autumn harvest into the Market’s urban setting.  It was a brilliantly successful day enjoyed by hundreds of regular and new visitors to Borough Market.  In addition to our Traders' usual high quality offerings, many had produced special Apple Day products which showed the enthusiasm which which they embraced this special occasion.
