- Borough Market is one of the most famous and renowned fresh markets in London. Get all information here: migrationology.com/2014/05/bor...
There are many famous things to do in London, but if you're a food lover like I am, one of the best choices you can make it to take a trip to the historical Borough Market. The market is one of the most well-known in all of London. The history goes way back, and it was formerly a place where people came and gathered to trade and sell their fresh produce. For many years it was very informal and without structure. But the official Borough Market was established in 1885, the place that we can visit today.
We were only in London for a couple of days, attending the Chowzter.com food awards (chowzter.com/), and one thing I knew we needed to do, was visit Borough Market with an empty stomach. It was Friday morning at about 10 AM when we decided to go - and I think it was just about a perfect time - because many of the vendors were just opening up, and the market wasn't as packed as it could be. The best things to do as soon as you arrive to Borough Market is to take a leisurely stroll around and see what is available for you to eat - there are too many things to eat in one visit, so it's important that you choose wisely, and decide what you want to eat.
Some of the most famous things include the salt beef sandwich, the grilled cheese sandwich, the duck confit sandwich, chorizo, and many other delicious things. But along with cooked food, there's also a range of cured meats, and wonderful cheeses. I also really enjoyed the fresh produce, which included a nice variety of mushrooms and beautiful heirloom tomatoes.
But anyway let's get back to the food, and I'm talking about the food ready to be eaten. As soon as I arrived I saw a stack of cheese and olive bread-sticks which were piled high like a pyramid. That was my first treat. The long bread-stick was crusty and embedded with salty cheese and delicious olives. While walking around, in the back part Borough Market, we decided to try a Portuguese egg tart. It was good but I thought it could've been better if it was a little warmer. Next up we tried a sausage on a stick from a place called Boston Sausage. I added a bunch of English mustard to it, and I think that's what made it so good.
If you want to drink coffee, when you visit London's Borough Market you cannot miss the famous Monmouth coffee shop. It can be quite busy and hard to find a seat, so we decided just to get takeaway coffee, as I really needed something to wake me up and keep me energized to eat more. My little shot of macchiato was fantastic.
Back to the food, we went to a place called Brindisa and ordered up one of their famous chorizo sandwiches. The chorizo was very tasty, and had a nice spicy flavor to it, but I thought the bread was way too big for the amount of meat. If I ordered it again, I would for sure get the double chorizo. Finally for my last sandwich at Borough Market, I went with the famous duck confit sandwich. You'll see the incredible pan of duck confit when you visit the market, and if you're like me, it should entice you to eat it immediately. When you order, the vendor fills up a bunch of duck into a ciabatta roll. The duck was incredibly tender, juicy, and oily, and it was amazingly tasty. That just about wrapped up everything I ate at Borough Market in London. There were still many more things I wanted to try, but like I said, it would be a near impossible feat to eat everything in one visit to the market. If you want to eat and you're in London, this is one of the best places to visit.
Visit Borough Market information:
Open for lunch on Monday -- Tuesday from 11 am -- 5 pm
Full market is open on Wednesday -- Thursday from 11 am -- 5 pm, Friday from 10 am -- 6 pm, and Saturday from 8 am -- 5 pm (closed on Sunday)
Prices: It would not be hard to spend 20 GBP per person eating here
Website: boroughmarket.org.uk/
How to get to there: I think the easiest way is to take the London underground tube to London Bridge Station and then just follow the exit signs that will lead directly to Borough Market.

The disappointment on his face every time he took a bite 🤣🤣
Now if you Watch his Jamaican videos of late you’ll see a contrast 😂
This guy never say it's not good.
If it is not spicy i'm not eating - That's Marks logo. I am pretty sure the food he tried was good, just not his favourite
English food too bland
Chuck Norris You can really says it’s bland and boring. A lot of European cultures include a huge variety of herbs, some spices and aromatics into their food. The UK has adjusted itself to use other cuisines around the world and never really create their own. Quite a good idea due to the fact history in the UK is so dense we don’t really need a history of cuisine.
I think the only thing he genuinely enjoyed was the coffee 😂
I REALLY appreciate that you never have swearing in your shows. We like to watch travel videos with our homeschooling and we know we can count on Mark to keep it family friendly.
His impressions are giving it away he is so disappointed with most of the food lol after seeing most of his vlogs where you can tell by his expression how much he loves the food.
Haha keep it up Mark we really enjoy you vlogs and learn from it 👍
And the price lol
I mean, when you buy a 2 foot "cheese stick" and a burnt egg-custard thing, you're gonna be disappointed - what even are those things? London is a City with some of the most authentic, multi-cultural foods in the world... he wasn't exactly trying the best of London here...
@@timmartin2894 I guess he was not there to try the food you have from other cultures, rather to have the experience of the authentic British food. Because the international food you are talking about, I bet he know them already, and actually their authentic taste, having visited and explored their actual countries and cultures. I mean if I want to eat the best Thai or South Asian food I better go to Thailand or South Asian countries, not the UK.
I been here, amazing food.
He should do a video on more authentic British food. I’d like to hear his take on fish and chips, sausage rolls or pork pies.
I love this guy’s enthusiasm.
I have to say, as a Brit, that there’s nothing even vaguely decent you can eat in borough market that compares to the extraordinary food this guy samples around the globe.
We specialise in roast dinners, boozing and sarcasm.
I'm not a Londoner, but I find that very hard to believe, looking at all the fresh produce he showed at the start of the clip - it looked phenomenal! Bread sticks and burnt egg custards probably don't do the market justice to be fair...
I'm portuguese and lived in London for a while. I won't pretend english food is something I hold in extremely high regard, but that being said......I 'cannot' believe you guys don't have some amazing stuff in the right places. I wouldn't go to a street market to sample a countries food though. There's probably cool english restaurants with cool stuff. I'm gonna hunt them down next time i go there :)
Mark went heavy on the free mustard to make up for the overpriced sausage😂
And with that much mustard on everything, how do you expect to taste the food???
This is the unhappiest I’ve ever seen him
I was just going to say the same.lol no Indian or African spices to really open his eyes lol
lol I’ve only seen one reaction from him lol “mmmmmmm” 👁👁
Mostly because of the atmosphere and culture of the country he has visited. I got so shocked, I had seen his videos in Greece before I watched the video.
Please help me subscriber please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Well, the food is English….
He was probably skint after the first hour
Lol😂
Hour?!?. That duck sandwich is 8 quid!!!!
@@farhiafagadhe1273 no

What is skint?
Great to see you enjoying borough market, Mark. Love the market too, and enjoyed seeing you enjoy the choice of street foods available. Wonderful!
Hey Mark, my hubby & I LOVE your videos. We watch you after a hard days work & somehow you help us destress. And you also never fail to make us feel hungry :D Anyway, we appreciate the work you do. More power to you & your wife. God bless.
He loves the coffee the most. That says loads about the food
London looks so serious. The rest of the world looks so laid back, relaxing and fun. That's my opinion just based off Mark's videos and experiences.
London is one of the most interesting cities in the world - plenty of places to relax and have fun... some of the best attractions and restaurants in the world actually... it's why it's always in the world's top 3 most visited cities annually, sometimes first!
Anyone els watching 7 years later for the 2nd or 3rd time 😄
Well done on your journey mark.
The Borough Market should be considered as a tourist attraction as well. Give the classic fish 'n' chips a try. Thank you for the detailed description!
Borough Market is one of my favourite things about London. This video is making me hungry to go back! Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad I found your channel... You are one of the best foodies I've ever watched... Thanks
What a great change of pace showing all kinds of different delicious foods, great video, Mark. And boy, I'm really surprised at the prices, is it me or are they a bit high?
Prices are normal be it steep here in london. Although those prices are actually value for money compared to other street markets in london
i live in the London and those are actually regular prices of everyday food...
I was surprised at the prices, also. Seemed a bit high for things. I love to see other foods from around the world. I can't travel so I'm living vicariously through Mark's travels. :)
Sailor Hill Same here!
Looks like normal for London, but in the mindset of streetfood one might expect lower prices.
I traveled to London in mid-July, was pretty boring breakfast at my hostel. So I decided to go to Borough market to eat my breakfasts. Very well worth their money and time :) As well, the market is quite nice to just walk around and take in the England feel.
Thanks for the video Mark! I'm going on my 1st trip to london in 3 weeks and now i cant wait to try the duck sandwich. looks sooooo yummy! keep on posting. love all your videos.
Thank you Mark, for sharing your experience. To many, many more!
No head tilt means no good
Only the 🦆 ,lol! Thank you for being honest Mark!
Please help me subscriber please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
mark I love watching your videos and thank you for saying chorizo correctly, you make the food so tempting. especially the duck.
Love your videos Sir! Thanks for the upload more power
Thank you Mark :) Can't wait to go there myself!
You awesome! Keep it up!
You totally inspire me!!
Thank you Gwen Traveler
Mark you have a serious metabolism. Love the videos and great food and advice. Taking note.
Love Borough Market! Especially at Christmas time. Just visited there recently.
Mark I’ve just discovered your channel and I think you’re great ... I was born in London it is the most wonderful city ... what you chose to eat though really really didn’t show off London food or street food in this beautiful city at all ... should have checked out Covent Garden ... I know it’s not street food but Harrod’s food hall is such an experience ... shame that was your impression of London it’s bound to be pricier here in London different culture altogether ... loved the huge prawns episode I watched that at 4am this morning!!
Being a Londoner and watching this I feel so sorry for him. Ive literally come off watching his Mexican taco tour and that looks stunning, London just feels like a major let down, .
I just did the same vids as you man. I posted a few comments above. We pay indoor prices for outdoor food. Not good.
@heyhey heyhey Yes there is. Street Feast and Kerb to name just two companies doing amazing things for street food. You're obviously looking in the wrong places 🤣
@heyhey heyhey Sounds like you're just hard to please 🤷♂️
@kindinot I live 20 minutes away, and I agree with him. Stupendous prices for subpar quality food nowadays that won't even leave you half full. If you want authentic and reasonably priced street food, London is not the place.
Well tbh It depends on where you go. Some places have pretty good food.
Seeing how this guys face lights up when he's taken his first bite of all the various foods in his videos, how much he's enjoying that one little moment in time, makes me feel happier. I can't really explain it haha.
Great video Mark !!! I love London !!!
the bakers there are amazing they sell slabs of brownies that are just incredible!
Emily Stevens Ok cool, thanks for sharing. My wife would have really loved those!
Wow! Some amazing looking eats Mark Wiens . I agree with you about the prices being steep when you convert the GBP into US dollars or especially Thai Baht.
His head is straight.His eyes not expressive.Only the duck confit hit the mark!
@@deborahgodley6980 I've been to Borough market several times and I know what's on offer. I have no idea why he chose what he chose because there's loads of better-looking food than what he bought.
Please help me subscriber please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Great to hear English mustard getting some praise,it's just the best,thank you Mark.. 🙏
THANK YOU FOR SHARING MARK, TAKE CARE.
I really hope you post vlog everday... So here I am... Re-watching your old videos randomly. XD
First video I've watched with no "WOW" moment on the food tastingv.. but that's London for you nowadays .!
Plz subscrib my channel frand
6 years ago though
If he went to the Pakistani or Indian spots he would’ve been a lot more happier.
Please help me subscriber please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for sharing video
Great choices of food. Thanks for the sharing.
Borough Market is HEAVEN~! I've been there once and it is easily my foodie heaven. So many choices and such good food. Definitely can't wait to go back there one day.
linited Ok cool, good to hear you're been there too and loved it.
Mark I really love ur expressions
I can see such an improvement in you and your videos now, awesome x
great vlog I really enjoyed watching!
The thing about the food stalls in Borough Market is that they're mostly meant to fuel you up as you explore the city - they're not meant to be some kind of mind-blowing street food experience. So here's the right way to do it: you grab some of the hand-dived, grilled scallops from the scallop guy as a starter, and then you grab a main - I prefer the venison burger or the salt beef sandwich, but there is a plethora of options. Then you grab a nice strong Belgian beer from the beer seller (whose stall is crammed with several hundred different choices), you crack it open on the side of his stall, and you make your way over to the seating area. You find a spot to squeeze into, you munch your food, sip your beer, feed the birdies, and watch the people. When you're done, you go over to the sweets section, where they serve some excellent pastries and chocolates, and you pick out a few of these for your pudding - of course you take them with you to Monmouth Coffee, where you wash them down with some of the best coffee anywhere outside of Italy. You step outside (trying not to get run over by a black cab), take a deep breath, and once again dig your teeth into London... And that, my friend, is how you get the most out of the food stalls at Borough Market.
English, German, Austrian, and Swiss food are not delicious according to Mark Weins face expression 😁😁
Even I felt the same
@indigenous Supporter learn to write properly.
actually issue is Food is so Expansive but no taste...Mark was helpless 😂
in europe is food also very delicious, but you can find it not as street food, but in restaurants! very delicious one pot recipes, grilled chicken and beef and pork. Very very delicious food!!!
@trek2space That is why our national dish is Curry lol. Our food is quite bland compared to others around the world. I mean there isn't exotic spices or tastes infused with English food, it's basically salt and pepper that is powering our food. For example, pie/bangers and mash, fish and chips, toad in a hole, roast dinner vs Jerk chicken.
As much as I love fish and chips, our food is clearly not in the exciting flavoursome category.
And regarding the Eastern European food, as in the former soviet countries? If so, ain't your food basically meat in water? Pretty sure we have you beat there. I'd rather eat from Greggs :)
Thanks Mark! You've got me craving that duck sandwich. I found your video because I was searching for info on this market. My wife and I will be traveling to Europe in April. Our second stop is London. This is a trip I always promised her as I prefer the Philippines and other asian countries.. I usually come to you for amazing foods from those places. I'll have to checkout your other London videos now. You're the best!
+Dream331 If you can, go to Beigal Bake in Brick Lane, Shoreditch they do a great salt beef bagel :) Hope you enjoy your time in London
Really awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Mark should of gone to Southall West London and eaten a good curry instead! plus there are loads of cheap good delicious food to be found out of Central London in local communities! 😁
He's been to India..duh!
Jeeeeez that's allot of Colman's. Your eyes must have been watering!
Thank you Mark. Bless your heart. I think I passed through it along time ago. I know they have a few good Markets in London. If you type in food markets London I am sure it will come up with a list, worth checking out. I love good food, my Dad and Mum were wonderful cooks. My Mum still cooks at the age of 83. Bless her heart. We come from Gibraltar. I love your videos, you make it so interesting. And love your enthusiasm for delicious food. Thank you
Brilliant videos my friend! I wish I had a pal who shared the same interest in food that I do! Keep up the cool vids....
£1.50 for a sausage...good old London never changes...
borough market is overpriced and lacks choice-better off going to nandos.lol
burlhorse89 are there any better priced street food markets?
i just think there are better places to eat at decent prices-shoreditch comes to mind.but you can do some research on it-there is not even a sitting area.it's a bit hyped up i think
2018 london price = £5.00
You're asking for food advice from someone who recommends Nandos? Aim a little higher.
only one "slow head turn of satisfaction" ^^
Woow so amazing I'm excited Everytime u have new vlog.
Thank you so much for your suggestions!!! We will be heading to Borough Market in two weeks... Can't wait!!!! ^_^
Man, that duck looked phenom!
I honestly don't think the food were all that good. Mark didn't tilt his head and wait for 3 seconds before speaking everytime he ate something
I went to Borough Market when I was in London and I loved it. Now you've made me want to go back and try that duck sandwich. London here I come, or should I say, Borough Market here I come.
Enjoyed the Vlog! Thank you😍😊
WELCOME to London Mark. You should head down to Camden there are plenty of street food there
Camden is awesome but still you need to hit the right spot :)
kou qwr Thank you!
Mayor of London, start,put, pig's,in, mall,
Born n bred in London, and his definitely gone to a tourist trap market. It's very expensive there and it's not even tasty food.
Where would you suggest to go?
London is not the place for Mark he shold have done a good research before he came. He could have saved a lot of money by covering 20 Countries while in London. You cant travel all the way just for a Sandwich xx
Hey! I’m going to London soon! I came here for reference for food. Where do you recommend I eat? 🤗
Should have gone to Poppies or just a traditional pie n mash.
Alan White Yeah poppies one of the best.
Good to see you here welcome to London.
I love your videos Mark and your smiley, appreciative face 🖒
As someone still living in London and watching this video from 4 years ago, I find it funny that people already complained about the prices.
I can say that nowadays, everything he ate, would have cost double. Easily.
My exact thoughts after watching.
Hi +Mark Wiens, I'll visit London on August. I won't forget to visit Borough Market...
Josias Lopes Good to hear you'll be visiting. Definitely check this place out.
Mark Wiens Did you know the the original bakery where the Pasteis de Nata were invented is still opened since 1837 in Lisbon?
www.pasteisdebelem.pt/en.html
Only 6 persons in the world know the true recipe.
Believe me, the one from this bakery have no equal... If you go to Lisbon you should try it...
Borough Market is on my the list of things to try. thanks for sharing. Hope your wife and lil micah are good
You are an inspiration Mark!
when you're hungry and had nothing to do in the middle of the night.. watching his videos is a worst decision ever.. and suddenly you're ended up at mcdonalds, but i still loved your videos tho.
Watching it now and my diet is ruined

Raffaele Colucci I feel privileged to being doing what I'm doing, thank you for your support.
I've lived in London my whole life and never visited Borough Market. Guess I was missing out! Will pop by next week when I'm in the area. Thanks.
2:49 THATS WHAT SHE SAID
sorry i had to Mark =D
btw awesome review!!
Welcome to London. Make sure you bring your credit cardssss next time
And your own lunchbox.... or condiments
I'm glad you enjoyed the 'pastel de nata'. You can eat it cold, it's perfect like that.
you're soooo lucky! I'm so happy for you that you have the opportunity to just eat all that glorious food!
"This is the best thing I had so far"
Yes, We knew as soon as your eyebrows went up.
His piercing eyeballs move in a fiery scary way makes me want to run... fast away...faster still BUT his food choices are good !
the vanilla filled dougnuts there in the indoor part are amazing! best in summer
gotta love some throwback mark!
Omg your in my home postcode
Oh cool Abdul Jabbar, I'm back in Thailand now, but enjoyed a few days in London.
Hey Mark, you didn't show the signature's delicious food face on this clip like your eating Thai food.
coming sooooonnn it's so awesome...
I'll have to check that out. Thank you for the tip. I'm always looking for new ways to learn about other cultures.
That is a lot of English mustard.
Dave84 He added a lot of English mustard because he knew the food had no taste. It was basically a pile of mustard and a little grilled pork
i live in london! also borough market is super expensive for england too! you should go to burger and lobster!
or get some fish and chips! (i like white bait) , oh and a lovely roast dinner!
jazzyisme and a full english!
jazzyisme and reeb's bakery on essex road , fantastic bread!
Hey jazzyisme thank you for all the suggestions. I'm back in Thailand already, was only there for a short visit, and to attend a food awards ceremony. Will have to go back to eat more, thank you!
oh sorry i think i just got a bit excited thinking about all the lovely things you can get round here! I think you wouldn't like english food all that much if your main love is spice , we don't so much spicy food of our own just like Indian curries ect! if your in the uk again tho i do cook a very good roast dinner and you and your wife would be welcome!
Those Boston sausages and the duck sandwich looked really yummy. I wish I could try them too
My family and I just got back from London and we went to Burroughs market and tried the bread stick on your recommendation Mark. It was good.
A lot of bread-y foods there. The best foods in England seem to be the ethnic foods. But the produce and the seafood looks amazing. High quality.
Yah the produce, though expensive, did look amazing. I wanted to grab one of those tomatoes and eat it right there!
You have to go in the country side to have very good traditional a English food with freshly hunted/picked produce. Hmmm yummy :) English food is good too :)
+AfroAngloFrenchie Chick (That Bantu Chick) english food is best, mark had a totally wasted trip to uk, is like me coming thailand and eating english food, would be a total waste, contact me next time in uk mark, i am a ex chef/manager.
+dganir1 thats what makes england best country in world, our food and diet, nothing good, in rice and noodles, like asia eats. i am not saying englsnd is best country in world cause i am english, saying england is best country in world cause i lived all over the world, and if i was foreign, i would pick england to live.
+Mark Wiens i think uk has most expensive street food and take away food in world, that's why i got out of hotels restaurants, could not live with charging people the prices i had to. cause of our very high taxes in this country.
I'm a Londoner and have been since birth, the food is great, its the most multicultural city in the world (or at least one of), of course the food isn't going to be top notch everywhere. Markets really are tourists traps in London, no one who lives in London really goes out to a market to eat food since its a rip-off most of the time. Restaurants are where London shines, street food really isn't a thing in London to be fair which is why you won't be impressed. Its a city where you really need to sit down and eat to fully experience such a diverse culture.
London is not a great food city. And it's not that multi-cultural compared to the US. Put it this way. I live in a small area north of Detroit in Michigan, USA. I can drive a short distance and have Middle Eastern food, American Chinese food, Filipino food, Indian food, Vietnamese food, Polish food, Italian American food, Mexican American food. Korean barbecue. It's all possible. Inexpensive. Large quantities. Free refills on soft drinks. Free tap water. ice cold. I spent some time in London quite awhile ago, so I can't speak to its current food state. I'm sure it is better. But it can't hold a candle to any large urban US city when it comes to food.
wpl With London is a bit weird because in Central London you have that iconic city littered with landmarks that every tourist imagines London to be but it gets very different a couple miles out. I'm not sure where you've been in London but depending on the location the available food changes dramatically. Touristy London mostly has the upscale European cafes/restaurants (with some exeptions) which I admit is a bit dull. Most definitely tourist traps as they charge ridiculous prices. Then there's the rest of London, this is where you find one of the most diverse communities in the world. Just on my street I've got plenty to choose from, mostly Indian joints with the odd South American bar/grill and then the classic chippy and kebab shop, all this on a small 300m street which isn't too bad.
I definitely have to say London is far more multicultural than the US in more ways than one. Its one of the first cosmopolitan cities and is home to a very wide variety of people. Its hard for me to explain it to be honest, I've lived in the US for 1.5 years in LA roughly a decade ago and it was multicultural but it seemed fake. It just lacked authenticity really, I'm not sure whether it was due to the neighbourhood I lived in but most of the Chinese and Indian (very few Indian spots mind you) had slightly altered tastes. They were a bit toned down to cater to the people of LA I guess. With London there really isn't much of this, usually fully authentic. The US may be big but it isn't actually *that* diverse when compared to London, in a square mile you'd probably encounter a larger variety of people from different backgrounds. Eh its hard to explain what I mean without offending anyone (when I mean no harm) so I'll just leave it at that.
Goot I dont agree that street food isnt a "thing" in the U.K. i think it depends where you are. Everyone would have a wonder round a food market.
I'm afraid I have to add to goot's comments here, guy knows.
You've done it wrong if you assume that Detroit is a better food city than London. London is a huge city with a diverse population, which is centered around many areas, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis to the east, Indians to the west, Jamaicans in the brixton, elephant and castle and notting hill area, there's a huge Brazilian and Portuguese area there too, A large Jewish population in Stamford Hill and Golders Green, as well as Japenese, a large south asian population in tooting and around that way, a huge Korean population in New Malden, ethiopian restaurants in highbury and holloway, great turkish restaraunts up the green lanes ladder, persian and lebanese around the edgeware road, vietnamese around haggerston and hoxton and i could go on.... ... and of course other nationalities all mixed in. The important thing is that the food in these places is all AUTHENTIC.
Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants - Tayyabs and Lahore kebab in Aldgate
Indian - thousands - kricket, veeraswanys, slightly commercial but dishoom etc.
Caribbean - Rum kitchen, or Blue mountain rum lounge
Portuguese - Taberna do mercado, bar douro
Jewish - Montys Deli in maltby st (altho its moving)
Japanese - Koya in soho, Roka
South asian - Apollo banana leaf in tooting or hoppers in soho
Korean - Jin go gae in new malden
etc etc etc, and i'm not even trying.
Borough market is not brilliant to be honest, it's been touristified and the prices reflect it, it's not awful, just a bit knowing these days. Maltby St market is a better shout, or any of the ones which pop up in bermondsey or southwark way. Out east in stokey and shoreditch there are a few too.
London is one of the best cities in the world for food. Hands down.
Don't eat fish and chips in London, in fact, don't eat it anywhere you can't see the sea. Whitby's where its at, or mersea for seafood, devon crab etc...
Goot - I understand exactly what you meant. Although, I'm hardly an expert on this subject having been to London for just two weeks, years ago. My opinion is based on my observations and experience only. London is more culturally diverse and obviously so bc it's more compact, I felt. So in any given day, you may encounter people from at least 6 different ethnic backgrounds, while the US is more spread out, so diversity is not as obvious. I have to say, although the food portions are quite small compared to what US is used to, the best Thai and Indian meals I've ever tasted was in the Knightsbridge area of London if I remember right.
your expressions always water my mouth... so lucky to taste such foods
It looks so great thank you for the video im to london in October :)
He looks unhappy..
After the places he has been to, The foods he has tasted. I would be unhappy too lol And I am from the UK! Our food is so bland and simple in comparison to what Marks tastebuds has experienced >.
Lucifer - Speak for yourself, some of us know how to cook quality good so it's not bland.
i think it is because of our weather.... no sun ..
probably because of the price lol
Weather too ... look at the sky ..... is london more expensive than germany? because he is happy in Munich ..
Nope, he was not impressed, did not do the “ WOW!”
Your expressions are brilliant!
Nice to see someone who really enjoys eating! Hope there are lots of veg options there as well as I plan to visit soon.
must rate as the greatest tourist trap in London, you won't find an ordinary person shopping here
$8.5 for a street side sandwich. I really want to know what the prices are in a fine dining restaurant in London. No fish and chips mark ?
I thought the same.
arulisms You could easily spend 50 - 100 GBP at a nice restaurant. I was in London for a food awards ceremony, and we did have fish and chips once, but no video as I was with a big group...
remember £ isn't the same as $ !! Things as in most large cities that serve tourists things to tend to be pricey as in any major city
all just depends on where you are in london, some places cheaper than others. obviously of course what your eating and the quality of the food.
Rich people's country....
Well done thanks for showing us this food market in London and how to get to it
Hey Mark! Love your videos, come to Belém, Lisbon to eat the pasteís :D they are lovely with powdersugar and cinnamon!
Happy newyear with lots of foodinspiration!
I don’t get how a guy can continually say that he enjoyed the food immensely and nearly every comment is running the food down as if you watched a different film! Makes me wonder how many people even watched this without going with the quite obvious wrong presumptions on the foods there. Crazy.
Na Na lol he can't like everything
