The historic Southwark district is quite lively these days, but this market has been here since 1851 and it claims to be the oldest market of its kind. The fruit and vegetarian section deals with restaurants, grocers and small businesses, with most of its trade being in bulk and concluded by sunrise. However, if you want to buy in small quantities and can get up early, some stalls will accommodate you. Fridays and Saturdays are more promising for the average market goer, with a dazzling array of fine foods available. Famous names include Clarke's and the Fresh Olive Company (+44 20 8838 1912). Other than the quaint cafes in the area, why not try the big, bright seafood restaurant, Fish!
