Borough Market

Borough Market’s history is inextricably linked with that of London Bridge. A market had existed at the footings of the bridge since before the 12th Century. A Trust was established in 1756, with the purpose of securing the market’s long term future by providing the amenity and resources for the operation a fresh produce market on the current site.

The purpose of Borough Market was established to enrich food supplies to London’s local communities, then chronically suffering from a lack of fresh quality food produce. In 1997 Borough Market (Southwark) became a registered charity regulated under the provisions of the Charities Act 1993.
