How about me? Until now I only checked in at the airports during flight transfers (especially on cheap Luton). The only time that London was actually close, the trip didn&#8217;t work out as it is not recommended to fly in the first trimester of the pregnancy! Therefore \u0141ukasz flew with his parents and I stayed at home.. But as you can see all is not lost that is delayed!<\/p>\n<p>London. Here I am. Finally. One day only&#8230;! We got invited to London by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitbritain.com\/en\/EN\/\"><b>Visit Britain<\/b><\/a> along with a large group of bloggers from all around the world.

It&#8217;s the most popular and the oldest marketplace in London. They say that it dates back to the beginning of XI century when people used to trade crops, vegetables and fish in the London Bridge area. In XIII century the marketplace was moved to Borough High Street and that&#8217;s where it is now.<\/p>\n<p>As the products here are high quality many well known chefs visit Borough Market to do their shopping. Supposedly you can see Jamie Olivier or Gordon Ramsay walking around the stands! Unfortunately we didn&#8217;t see anybody famous. But we loved <b>Borough Market<\/b> anyway&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We were enchanted by its colourfulness, the scents in the air and the diversity of products sold here&#8230; Lively vegetables and fruits, different kinds of tomatoes that look like they&#8217;re asking you to take them home! Intensive scent coming from big cheese rings, Spanish sausages, Turkish delight baklava and huge pans with paella or Asian seafood. Fresh fish, oysters, seafood on ice&#8230; Spicy prune or apple chutneys in jars, truffle spreads.. Crispy bread, foccacia with tomatoes and rosemary or peppers. Burgers, beef sandwiches, sweets, jelly beans&#8230; Everything! Something for everybody! It makes you wanna buy, buy and buy and then eat, eat and eat!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2521-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"Borough Market, London, what to see in London\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">fruity\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2476-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"London, Borough Market, what to see in London, marketplace, foodies\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">or veggie?<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2480-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"Borough Market, London\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">foccacia!<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2449-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"London, Borough Market, what to see in London, marketplace, foodies\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">picturesque mushrooms<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2471-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"London, Borough Market, what to see in London, marketplace, foodies, cheese\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">delicious cheese<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2516-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"Borough Market, London, fish, what to see in London\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">that&#8217;s a real eyecandy for all fish lovers!<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2510-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"London, Borough Market, what to see in London, marketplace, foodies\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">this too!<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/en.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC2517-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"London, Borough Market, what to see in London, marketplace, foodies\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">want some truffles?<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The most impressing thing is the culinary culture mix on <b>Borough Market<\/b>.

I kept nibbling on it for half a day! \u0141ukasz went for a sandwich with chopped beef, a cucumber and mustard (approx. 3 pounds). The sandwich was a bit disappointing, we expected something better. But if you like beef prepared this way, you should be satisfied..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was a pity we had to leave Borough Market, but thankfully there are some places in Warsaw that offer good quality products (on a smaller scale) and the breakfasts consumed open air are also getting more and more popular.
