Market
Borough Market
London SE1 9AH, UK
Nine-hundred-year-old food market tucked under railway arches, owned by a charitable trust that can never sell or close it.
Borough Market's story in London turns on 1754, the year Parliament declared it a public nuisance after centuries sprawled across Borough High Street and ordered it shut for good. The guide follows the parishioners of St Saviour's church who refused to accept that ruling, and the extraordinary fundraising campaign they launched among their Southwark neighbors to fight back. Listen for the Victorian ironwork and the railway arches overhead as you walk through today's stalls.
