Trying London Street Food | Borough & Camden Markets Food Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- We are trying street food in London for the first time and checking out two markets that have been highly recommended to us by many of you! First we visit Borough Market and try a few of the many amazing looking (and amazing smelling) food stalls at the market. Then we meet up with our friends Jason & Josh and visit Camden Market. We try even more food options, while also checking out the shops, checking out Camden Town, and taking a little hike to work off some of that food.

So much amazing food at Borough and Camden Markets! If you have suggestions for other things we should try next time or other markets we should check out, let us know! This is the 4th video in our UK travel series. If you've missed the others, check out the full playlist: ua-cam.com/video/makVGA_yMrQ/v-deo.html
If you like cakes etc visit "Crumbs & Doilies" in SOHO
Love this video, I definitly reccomend checking out the famous museums. The british museum, the national history museum and the V&A museum. They are are most well known museums and very big, so you won't be able to see them all in one day XD
If you liked the vibe in Camden, try visiting Bristol some time - especially Gloucester Road.
If you find yourself in the UK again have a Dishoom breakfast, bacon wrapped in naan bread with chilli jam and cream cheese, and unlimited chi tea.
@@plushy9849 Bristol, my home for many years is a cuisine delight, from every nation in the world.
The best way to get to Camden Market is to go to Little Venice and take a barge from there to Camden. Little Venice is so tranquil, the boat trip along Regent's Canal takes you through landscaped gardens of stately homes and then you get off the boat into the hustle and bustle of the market. You can also walk alongside the canal from Little Venice to Camden. Both ways are very enjoyable and you can work up an appetite either way.
This is why I like to read the comments. We will be in London in 2 weeks and am going to give this a try.
You two are so kind and enthusiastic. Really relaxing to watch you both having such a good time. Thank you!
Thank you! ❤
I’m a Londoner. So glad that you’re enjoying this (mainly) beautiful city 👋👋👋
Thanks, Paul! We had a great time.
Those sausage rolls are a thing of beauty..😍😂
They really are!
Hello Jeremy & Cara - looks like you are having a lovely “foodie” time in Borough Market - now please, polite request - but heartfelt! - when you go back to the USA, would you PLEASE tell all your friends, families, acquaintances, work mates, that British food is GOOD - excellent in fact - and all those rumours about our food being boring, bland, inedible is a complete and utter untruth! Most of what you eat/have eaten is additive and fake tastes and colourings free and what you eat is true and fresh foods… I am thanking you in anticipation, for I, like many British people are fed up with some “reactors” saying that “our food” (that they have probably never even tried!) is awful - continue enjoying your holiday here, I am loving your vlogs, seeing my country through YOUR eyes❤️thank you xx
Was just going to say that but not as elegantly as you Helen
The story about British food being bland has its origin in ww2. When the Americans arrived 2 years after the war had begun and during rationing, the food was indeed bland (according to my parents). The American soldiers went home and told everyone that that the food was awful and that everyone had bad teeth. After food shortages, rationing and bombing and with almost all medical personnel being involved in the war effort, dentists and exotic food were pretty low on the priority list. However, the war ended in 1945...
@@robgoodwin8329 yes…. HOW MANY YEARS AGO?? 😡😡🙄😱and it’s still spoken about as if it’s right now! It irks me that “their” food - and the fact that most (if not all!) cannot be imported into the UK or any European counterpart because it contains banned food colourings, artificial flavours and additives - is conveniently overlooked or they just are unaware of it? But they still bang on about “tasteless, bland non event foods that lack ‘flavor, seasonings and surprise’ - their food by all accounts HAS to be full of god knows what, to disguise its impurities! The ingredient compare of a UK (Euro) McDs compared to a USA McDs was shocking! But still is the claim that “our food” is bad….by people that have probably never travelled out of their own State, let alone travelled to this country!
@@neilmorrison7356 thank youn😊
@@robgoodwin8329 In the early stages of the war an American team headed up by a General was sent to London. His task to develop strategies for linking with and developing the war effort Churchill insisted on weekly briefings at 10 Downing Street over dinner. A favourite with the Americans was Irish Stew. The General? Dwight D Eisenhower.
As a Brit, living in the US, I was very jealous watching you eat all that delicious food. Having lived in the US for 40 years, I can't believe the price of donuts! Also, having had a gastric bypass 26 years ago, I was totally envious seeing the amount of food you both tucked away. I eat 7 ounces of food a day but, I had a lot of pleasure just watching you both eat. Great video. Cheers.
They were definitely some very expensive donuts, but they were also some of the best we've ever had so maybe worth the price? Thanks for watching!
Now you've gotta tell all your friends that the myth about British food being bland and tasteless is exactly that,a bloody myth,all that stuff you ate looked fantastic.
💯
Yes please we have spices and herbs in everything it’s not just plain enjoy your stay
The hilarious thing is the American myth that British food is bad stems from the World War 2 where American soldiers where stationed in the UK, during a time when Britain had food rationing and the Americans thought this was the normal standard of British food and this is where the bad reputation of food in Britain. I think in the 1970s and 1980s British people just saw food as functional, but in the last 30 years Britain has become a nation of foodies and with Immigrant from around the world the standard of British food has become incredible. I think British food now is far better than American food because Britain has strong food regulation, which the USA doesn't have so there is a high standard for natural and fresh food that doesn't exist in the USA. There was that true that Tesco opened stores in the US called Fresh and Green. Because Tesco was going by British food standards, they rebranded their American stores as health food stores, because basic British food standards where so much higher natural compared to American super market food standards.
That myth mostly stems from the disgusting stuff that comes out of Wales and Scotland, like laver bread (which looks like green turd) and haggis. English food is wholesome stuff like full english breakfasts, amazing roast dinners, beef wellington, fish and chips, steak and ale pie, cornish pasties, sticky toffee pudding, victoria sponge cake... the list goes on. Plus the best chefs in the world go where the money is, to global megacities like London and New York, so you'll find some of the best food in the world, from all cuisines, in London. Fact.
Most of the food they are eating isn't of British origin.
For someone that lives and works in London it’s really nice seeing the city through the eyes of a tourist. Great videos 👍
Thank you! There's a lot to appreciate about London!
Makes me want to go back and visit London so very badly. Camden is such a great place and exciting atmosphere.
We loved it so much! Can't wait to go back ourselves.
A brilliant video! The only problem was that, after 10 minutes, I had to take a break and make myself a snack. Borough Market is a superb place for
top-quality foods (and has been ever since the 1300's). Keep up the good work......................................the ancient Englishman.
lol thank you!
I live in Wales and every trip to London Camden Town is a must go place to spend the day. Amazing food, excellent markets and pubs. Amazing friendly people. Just an amazing place to visit so much going on there.
Ginger Pig is gorgeous. Their sausage rolls are the BEST. I can't anything after I eat that.
Hey. I am a watcher from the UK and I've just discovered your channel. A great comfort watch and you seem like pretty good kids! Hope you have enjoyed out eccentric country and people !
Awesome, thank you!
Primrose Hill has one of London's protected views. Those are 8 lines of sight of St Paul's cathedral dome that cannot have any tall buildings constructed that would block the view. A good example of this is the Leadenhall building, known as the cheese grater due to its shape, which had to be given a wedge shaped profile so that its top wouldn't infringe on the protected view
Oh neat. That's so cool! Thank you for the info.
Just before you enter Camdon Market there is a stall on the street. It's an old Chinese guy and he sells Chinese food. He is famouse for his Bang,bang chicken and people call him the Bang,bang chicken man. His Bang,bang chicken is just wonderful. And you get a lot for your money.
I couldn't put away half of what you ate. Glad you enjoyed your visit. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
😊 thank you
The salt beef and gherkin sandwiches in Borough Market have always been a favourite of mine. They're brilliant.
Ooh sounds good! We'll have to look for it next time.
LOVE Camden Market. Will have to try Borough Market, now, by the looks of it.
I’m really loving your channel. London is my city and I’m so proud that you’re both enjoying it here !! Wishing you both a fantastic time ! 🙂
You two make me smile. Kids in a toy shop. Reminds me of my first times in Camden, far less tendy then, some 45 years ago.
I love your enthusiasm for 'British' food. I have to watch your videos before i eat, because i'm always hungry after watching. :)
Every time we go down to London, we always visit Camden, such a fabulous place, my niece studied at the Royal college of veterinary at Camden 😁😁
We thought Camden was great. We have to go backnext time we're there.
You two are so lovely. I so enjoy watching your journey through the UK. Especially your experience with the different foods. Subscribed and Liked.
Gosh those southerners have a lot of posh street food. A bit different up north were we lived
We've got it all up north too 😊
What do you have up there then
Lol you are not the first person who has said that. 😂
You guys are delightful
You guys are adorable, love seeing how enthusiastic you are. Come back to the UK again!
God, I'm hungry.And what lovely and nice people.
you guys are my new comfort watch!!
Thank you so much! That is so sweet!
I’ll be in London end of the month. Now I’ve seen this, I’ll definitely be paying a visit to Borough Market. Those sausage rolls look 🤤
Oh nice! Hope you enjoy them. 😃
Sausage rolls like these are really easy to make at home, including the pastry. Search "River Cottage Big Sausage Rolls" will take you to my favourite recipe (YT doesn't usually like links in comments). The only way to mess them up is to not egg wash them before baking, although if your kitchen is hot you may need to rest the dough in the fridge for a bit halfway.
You can actually get them in Shepherd's Bush or Marylebone (they have shops there) then get a bus or tube to Camden. Saves you from having to go to London Bridge.
Belated welcome to South London ❤
The sausage rolls looked cracking, I'm going to have to pay a visit. Glad you two are enjoying yourselves.
Definitely can recommend getting one! Thanks for watching. 😃
wow Looks like a great day of fun.
Hey to you both! I watched your videos the other day and the way you present and come across is amazing. I saw this video before going to London today and tailored my trip around Camden and Borough Market areas! I followed your recommendation for the sausage roll from the Ginger Pig (as well as the spicy lamb one) and they were really nice. Thanks for the video, keep posting as you guys are so down to earth and relatable!
Camden street food is just amazing
It really is!
I have seen this video before but I enjoyed it so much I am going to watch it again
Oh nice! Thank you for watching (and again)!
Try if you can to visit brick Lane and go to one of the oldest original bagel shops.... you need to try salt beef and mustard !!!! 😋
Yes used to go there in 90s.it was there then
That sounds really good!
Nothing wrong with good British food, best in the world
It was delicious!
Haha lol. I'm from and allot of good food better than England to. But stil there is Much better food in in the world and all countries have nice local foods
Omg that food look amazing. I used to live in Camden as a teen in the days of Camden palace. Music venue.happy days
Oh that's so neat! We'd love to explore more of Camden next time. Let us know if you have any suggestions.
You guys both give off good vibes. I like your videos
If you're sci-fi fans, then Primrose Hill is also one of the locations mentioned in H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds.
Oh, that's really cool!
The honeycomb donut from Bread Ahead was one of my favorite things I ate at Borough
Aaaaaagh! The first USA review of UK food that tells the truth! It’s not WW2 any more. Rationing ended in 1954. We have food. And it’s good.
Lol are there are lot of people out there hating on UK food? 99% of what we tried was amazing.
i'm going on Tuesday cant wait food food food yummy ... you guys are owning it , so pleased you are both having a great time
Oh nice! You'll have to let us know what you get!
@@TheMagicGeekdom . Hi well what food heaven ( well for the uk it is ) . The sausage rolls were the best i have tasted tbh . You should try a service station sausage roll next( gas station ) lol . And don't worry our ER department is free although you may have a 8 hour wait before they can treat you with a good old fashion stomach pump . I went to both Borough and Camden markets , the Thai curry at Borough was beautiful . No sweet things for me i'm a diabetic , so had to have the burger wow . I was very impressed by the cheese stalls they were selling some top independent cheeses . The one thing us Brits are the best at is complaining to each other how bad the food is but when the waiter asks if every thing is ok , we say yes the foods great , then carry on moaning .
What a brilliant vlog some of the food looked absolutely amazing will definitely need to give both the markets a visit the next time i visit London 👍🏻
Thanks! We've heard of more good markets in London we'd like to try now, but we would definitely go back to these two. 😋
Wow guys, that looked fun. That caramel donut was really naughty, but I was eating it with you 😋 Loving your videos, more pleeeeeaaaaase. Have fun and stay safe 🥰
Thanks, Chris!
Was in London recently myself had the best time :)) jealous of how much food you got!
London is awesome!
wow loved the whole video and all the food too! that corn dogs looked amazing! what a great two days and meeting up with local friends is awesome too! watching and subscribing to them too!
The food was all fantastic. Jason and Josh have a very fun channel. Hope you enjoy. 😃
This was a delightful watch, so lovely to see you both enjoying our city in food ☺️ When you’re here next, we will teach you the British pronunciation of ‘Burra’ market 😉
Hi from Iowa! I had my first overseas trip to London last month, and hit some of the places you showed here. Thanks for the recommendations! Great channel.
Spitalfields Market (near Liverpool Street station) is another that is well worth a visit for the range of different foods
So happy you have done this series of vlogs …having been lucky to travel a lot ( including the USA several times ) sadly the people I have met on my travels had a huge misconception that British food is “bland and tasteless” …which of course is completely false! Like every country we have some foods that leave much to be desired …but on the most part we have some amazing food…using only the best ingredients and without most of the ‘nasties’ that are commonly added to everything in other countries …so thank you !!! So happy you enjoyed your stay on our beautiful island !!! Yes we are an island …something a lot of people also forget 😂🙈💞💞
Loved this video!! The Uh K-Dogs you tried are Korean Corn Dogs, so so delish!
Me and the mrs are regulars at the Ginger Pig, we get our Xmas roasts there. I'm at Borough market about 2-3 days a week, I can't help myself! Really glad you're finding our local hotspots!
Sounds great! Thanks!
potato anc cheese is one of britains best foods i enjoy fris covered in melted cheese, the best sausage rolls are the home made ones, those you tried are great, you can get abag full of mini donuts, we usually get those while we walked around with the kids, they kept em quiet for half hour, the sticky toffee fudge donuts are great too...
disappointed you didnt find the jellied eel store lol
We'll have to try at least a bit of jellied eel next time we go.
Some of the best food I've ever had was during my trips to the UK.
glad you got to go! had the pleasure of working near both for a time!
You two are so wholesome!
You guys enjoyed some really nice looking food. I am tempted to take the train over the Camden tomorrow but just remembered the highly paid train drivers decided to take strike action again 😒 I love the alternative scene there and such a great vibe.
Looks like a great day of fun and yum! 😊👍🏻
I love Camden, I need to go back, the food is awesome
So good! Thanks for watching 😃
HAHHAAAAAA I told you Borough Market was a great place to go! Good job the weather wasn’t too sad 👍🏻 Jump on an Uber boat an just pick an random place to get off is always a great thing to do, as long as you’ve had a pint and fish and chips your laughing! Hope your enjoying 🤟🏻
Thanks for the tips! We had a great time in London and can't wait to visit again. 😀
That sausage roll was Massive, I have to get one of those also I have to try the raclette it looks very tasty
Both were amazing!
Right, imma head into Camden tomorrow to eat some of that stuff
Lol sounds good!
Hey you guuuuuuyyyyyys. Here's an item to put on you BUCKET LIST. You have to try Kelly's Cornish clotted cream ice cream. Any flavour you wish will be blow you mind. My personal fav is raspberry. Stay safe 💓
Sounds great! Thanks for the recommendation. 😋
I am never going to look at a doughnut again without thinking of pillow of joy/heaven!
As a Londoner this video made me homesick!
Also, I love you ate foods I’d never seen before.
Glad you enjoyed it! We certainly enjoyed it. 😋
O boy you two have got an appetite. Enjoyed your video good luck you too
💜👍💜 love borough market.. Yes had to see where uncle Roger filmed...not made it to Camden yet👍👍👍👍 many thanks for the video👍👍
Thanks for watching! You should visit Camden!
Hi, just started watching .. love that you seem to enjoy your time here in England. I live in Devon ... unbelievably Im watching this and suddenly , at 11.03 I see my daughter walk past you .. gave me quite a turn lol .. its a small world afterall!
Oh wow! It is a small world. Thanks for watching! ❤
Spitalfields Market is worth a visit, near Liverpool Street station. Not just a food market, however. Lots of cool art and other stuff
Thanks for the suggestion! We wanted to visit Spitalfields Market but ran out of time. Hopefully next time!
You guys have to try a Beef sandwich from part Denmark called Jutland. It's basically a large burger with gravy, so good. Great video btw.
Thanks for the tip!
I hope you went across the road to Monmoths - amazing coffee
Amazing vlog 💖💖
ok, having found your channel this morning this is my fourth viewed upload, the binge is on LOL (apart from stopping for a donut break)
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Hello American chums, I love Borough Market. There is a spice stall there called "spice mountain " worth a look. They have some good curry mixes
Thanks for the tip!
Stilton with glass of port
Sounds delightful!
That Pineapple just needs a good slug of Barbados Rum in it to make it perfect!!
Good idea!
you guys pretty much rock...................love your videos 😊
Aww thanks!
That looks like a proper doughnut ☺️
It was!
You have to try an Indian whether its a restaurant or takeaway you have have to. A safe go to is Korma or tika masala
Hi Guys. I'm new to your channel and I must say that I am enjoying it as you both come over very well indeed. I live out to the west of London, not too far from Windsor Castle, so if you had plans to visit Windsor, I'd be happy to meet up somewhere and run you around a little if needed. Let me know. Curly xx
Awesome! Thank you! We aren't there anymore, but we did stop by Windsor on our way out of town. Definitely need to visit again as we didn't have much time there. Thanks for the recommendation!
Borough market appeared in harry potter but only a bit of it, I think it was it the Philosopher's Stone. (if you go to the credits right at the end it says something like " thanks to borough market")
Try an all English breakfast not from an hotel. Best places from my experience in London are Italian cafes weirdly or not that offer it
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@TheMagicGeekdom I meant full English breakfast I dont know where all came from there :)
Please go try Pie'n'mash ,my favourite meal of all, it is nothing like ordinary pie and mash.
Will do. Thanks!
@@TheMagicGeekdom best ones are Manzes
Hi I love your videos hope your enjoying England have fun ❣️👍
The Stilton takes some getting used to. But blue cheese gets better and better everytime ypu eat it🤤. Should try and start off with a mild blue
Lol that's true
Those are Deli Sausage Rolls, absolutely delicious.
Gregg's Sausage Rolls, are standard.............
Oh my Goodness! I went up to London the other day and all I had was a cappuccino and a large donut that lasted me for the day, I feel such a lightweight!😳
lol fair
Wonderful tour by the way!!!
I am out in London every weekend I have never been to either market I must’ve met the food is tempting me to go
Loved the vid s glad you like it here god bless I subscribed
A newbie here & I'm loving your videos. I'm looking forward to watching more. Im now so hungry 😫 😆 xx
You should get some hog roast, I don't know why it never makes these sorts of videos or articles about what to eat in the UK. But it's often served at markets and other outdoor events. They cook an entire pig and serve the meat in buns with stuffing and applesauce. One of my favourite foods.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Stilton is the king of cheeses, I love a mature Stilton eaten together with grapes
I've only been to Borough Market. Loved sausage roll and bought a ton when I went there last yr! I should've went to the other markets but I kept going back to BM. 😆
If you like street food markets I'd recommend Mercato Metropolitano in London's Elephant and Castle, and/or the new Seven Dials Market in Covent Garden :)
I hope you went into Brindisa and tried their orange stuffed queen olives?
Oh my life 😂 you two are so funny i love your reviews i really do 😊 I’m live in Cambridgeshire, u.k. keep going guys you are both fantastic 😊
I've visited Borough Market and have tried some of the same foods. I love sausage rolls!!
So yummy!
I am going to have to fast for a week before I get to London in August
Haha yeah. Hope you have a great trip!
