the best food markets in London I'm
Chris this is yellow productions and in
this video I'm going to be telling you
some of the best places to get food in
outdoor or maybe indoor markets and food
halls across London and the first market
I'm going to be starting with is this
one it's Borough Market this market has
been in London since about the 12th
century so it's been here for quite a
long time this is the quintessential
tourist market which means it's really
busy you are likely to be here with
two-thirds of all of the tourists in
London but it's definitely worth a visit
here it is just on the south bank of the
London Bridge and if you're coming to
this market the best days are Wednesday
through Saturday it is closed on Sundays
Monday and Tuesday it's a limited market
this market is best at lunch so let's
check out this market and some of the
other best markets in London here we go
part of the appeal of Borough Market is
definitely its layout which really
encourages you to explore some of the
stands are under the tracks under
bridges summer outside summer under
awnings and none of its really straight
lines you have to meander around corners
underneath arches and you can even get
free samples don't mind if I do some pea
for you whether you're looking for fresh
truffles or some fine aged cheese that
you'll find it all here didn't even get
illuminated cheese this is quite an
impressive cheese display the stalls
here also range from produce to prepared
food that you'd cook later to food
that's ready to eat right now and it is
London's of course you'll find some
fabulous loose leaf tea of course you'll
find delicious Indian food as well since
Indian food I think has become the
British national cuisine for something
traditionally British pick up a meat pie
with mashed potatoes behind the side
six-fifty this stall is roasting up the
whole hog literally it's the whole hog
roasted first time I've seen that in a
street market all the seafood you'd ever
dream of including fresh lobsters and
what's really neat has a lot of these
stalls have a hygiene rating so you can
tell you're not going to
sic here a selection of fresh soups
needs to up here this is actually hot
mulled apple juice if you don't want
apple juice but you prefer to drink
grass you can do that here to club these
vendors and have their food set up in
big skillets looks and smells delicious
you don't just have to see where the
biggest line is but you can smell it as
you're walking by this stalls grilling
up some big boston burgers and big
sausage buns
the only real con i see of this market
is there not a lot of seats you'll find
a few seating areas scattered around the
chances are you'll be standing most of
the time oh it is good to know there are
clean toilets and you won't have to
spend a fortune on drinking water either
because they've got these water bottle
fillers you haven't had breakfast yet
and you're here really early you can
stop by Maria's market cafe get a whole
bunch of different breakfast items
pretty cheap if you like coffee then
you'll definitely want to stop by
Monmouth evidenced by the long line for
coffee supposed to be one of London's
best coffees supposed to be I didn't
stand in that line for one of the
markets most iconic food stop by brindis
em pick up the double chorizo roll it's
got two pieces of chorizo roll arugula
and some spicy peppers in there all for
six pounds it is the only prepared food
this stall sells it's right in the outer
Market just left of the big Borough
Market awning when let's dive into this
check it out and for dessert I picked up
some goat's milk ice cream salted
caramel and strawberries and cream five
pounds for this little scoop of
deliciousness but it's a good way to
mellow out the spiciness of the chorizo
it actually got pretty spicy in the end
it's one of those that builds on you and
this goat's milk ice cream pretty smooth
and doesn't have some of the lactose
things that know
milk would have cow milk would have well
not quite no lactose but less lactose
you know how I know the cup told me so
don't miss the second part of the market
under the green market archway it's
right across the street also make sure
to explore the surrounding alleys really
a lot of food vendors around here you
won't be hungry another great place for
street food in London is a Camden Market
Camden Market has a lot of food vendors
but the biggest collective of them is at
kirb kirb at Camden they've got 34
different vendors that sell street food
ranging from Thai noodles to mac and
cheese to buns to ribs a lot of
delicious stuff here best part about
this street food market is they are open
364 days a year they start cooking for
lunch at 11 a.m. and then they're open
till 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. every night and
to find a kerb well if you go to the
Camden Town tube station just walk until
you get to the canal which is right here
behind me and you just go past the lock
the Camden Lock and then you'll find
these 34 delicious food vendors what I
love about this market like a lot of
London markets is the vendors put out
samples of their food and not plastic
replicas like Japan but actual things
they cooked when the morning starts so
you can see exactly what you're gonna
get so what did I get I got a kotti roll
it's a coterie roll it's kind of like a
northern Indian burrito it's made with
some flatbread with some egg on it some
house-made chutneys that would include
some tamarind sauce with the squeeze of
lime pickled onions all rolled up pretty
delicious it's a very intricate flavor
the tamarind the yogurt and the slightly
spicy chicken and the hot flatbread with
the egg super delicious check that out 7
pound 50p for dessert i got some dutch
pancakes 10 pancakes white chocolate
strawberries 5 pounds then I mentioned
you'll find everything here you'll find
everything even
new york-style pizza at voodoo rays when
most of the other markets are closed on
Sunday this one's hoppin this is Brick
Lane it's so busy on Sundays 10:00 to
5:00 p.m. they actually closed off the
street to cars because there's so many
people walking up on it the food vendors
they just set up on the side of the
street you'll find some of them inside a
building there's a Brick Lane food hall
as well but I thought one of the coolest
food vendors was right behind me it's
that black taxi right there the streets
closed off but that's the black taxi
coffee company dude is making coffee out
of a London black cab that is pretty
neat lots of great food here Chinese
food Japanese food even Mexican food so
let's take a look at some of the other
tasty things on offer at this market I
was particularly impressed by the street
side ramen bar these places have full-on
gas grills big pots I mean they go all
out of these Street markets
this stands grilling up some really big
sausages you can get the big one with
cheese and drink for six pounds some
more Indian food on display along with
some really delicious looking Mexican
food given samples of those fajitas
here's some Chinese food fried rice and
noodles and this one says authentic
Japanese food but taking a closer look
this is definitely Korean inspired
Japanese
and there's also real Korean food at the
Korean rice bowl stand Italian pasta
pesto and alfredo sauces Chinese steamed
and pan-fried dumplings and I think one
of the most unusual stalls this one's
selling live the weenie in food they've
got lots of Meatballs for sure for
dessert there's more of those little
Dutch pancakes and this guy's got a cool
wooden windmill to wash it all down you
can get some fresh squeezed sugarcane
juice or this stand sells their drinks
from a bicycle either mulled wine or
apple cider just a couple blocks from
brick lane also in Shoreditch is this
two-story thing of shipping containers
it's called box Park it has 60 different
vendors in it about half of them are
food stalls particularly up on the
second floor they're interconnected one
by one they've also got bars and things
like that interspersed between the
shipping containers where they created
some open space voodoo Ray's definitely
seems to be the biggest one that's New
York Pizza place it takes up three
shipping containers but there's little
shipping containers of donuts little
shipping containers of ice cream little
shipping containers of curry so if you
want to be really cool this place looks
hip and trendy boxpark is definitely the
place to go to cram into a shipping
container and get some noodles this next
one it's in the same neighborhood as the
last to its old Spitalfields market it's
about a seven minute walk from the box
park here it's a regular flea market
they've got some permanent stalls but
indoor stalls I mean technically it's
all covered and under a roof so maybe
this is more of a food haul than Street
food but it's worth mentioning anyway
because there's tons of tasty food here
and while there are permanent things
like wagamama
and more restaurants there's also a lot
of little things like whatever got
behind me
yum fun money's deli there's Indian
Street food I really liked it there was
a pizza place that brought in a big
pizza oven on kind of a truck there's
also a guy cooking a pasta
he says it's Italian pasta pasta
carbonara no cream just like it is in
Italy so scour out this market for some
tasty eats and this whole flea market
section too so you can pick up some
cheap stuff while you're here too or
some expensive stuff depending upon what
kind of things you buy from those stalls
but hopefully good food so what did I
get to eat here I got the pasta
carbonara
from the guy in that little truck back
there the pasta truck and yes the pasta
carbonara with no cream just like it's
made in Italy it was pretty good seven
pounds big filling a bowl of it only
thing that makes it not quite Italian
they used Italian ham pancetta instead
of guanciale that's how it'll be served
in Rome and then to wash it all down I
got some Taiwanese fruit tea you know
when I eat all this highly fattening
food amazing I don't gain a thousand
pounds but I gotta have my fruit in here
so I like to mmm drink it too this teas
quite fruity 4 pounds 75 pence
definitely not cheap for this drink but
it is lovely and refreshing particularly
after the slightly salty but really good
pasta thanks for watching if you enjoyed
