Probably London’s most famous market, this 13th-century food hall is a mish-mash of greengrocers, fishmongers and spice traders alongside salt-beef and falafel stalls. Those shopping for produce should prioritise oysters from Richard Haward’s (which goes back seven generations), British cheese from Neal’s Yard and giant sugar-dusted amaretti from baking school Bread Ahead. For lunch, head to the street- food hub, with its amphitheatre-like tiered seating, for cod tacos from Padre. Always busy but charming too.
