History of Borough Market

As far back as 1014, and probably much earlier, London Bridge attracted traders selling grain, fish, vegetables and livestock. In the 13th century traders were relocated to what is now Borough High Street and a market has existed there ever since

In 1755, the market was closed by Parliament, but a group of Southwark residents raised £6,000 to buy a patch of land known locally as The Triangle, once the churchyard of St Margaret’s, and reopened the market. The Triangle, where you’ll find Northfield Farm and Furness Fish and Game, is still at the heart of the market today.

The market still feeds this core community and has grown to include about 130 individual stalls. Alongside the original fruit, veg, bakers and butchers we now sell a huge variety of produce.

All of our traders share a love of food and many of them make, grow or rear the produce they sell so now, just as in 1755, our customers know exactly where their shopping has come from.

With it’s vibrant and friendly atmosphere, Borough Market will always be at the heart of the local community only now it will be offer the local community more than the sale of produce but the space to grow their own produce with the Nomadic Allotment project.
