Borough market operates wed-sat on southwark street near london bridge tube. Mercato mayfair at 35 berkeley square offers covered food halls year-round when british weather doesn't cooperate.

Way better than camden market's £15 pad thai when borough market does proper scotch eggs for £3.50. Look for vendors like monmouth coffee and kappacasein cheese at reasonable prices.

Market schedules vary - borough closed sundays, mercato open daily. Check current times before crossing london on the northern line.
