Borough Market destroyed?

Borough market is London’s oldest market.

It was established on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans build the first London Bridge and people have been trading on this site for over 2000 years. It’s a beautiful undercover food market and a truly wonderful part of London’s history.

We often visit the market for research, photography and feedback for our books, and many of our food writing authors, such as Nigel Slater, Giorgio Locatelli and Joanna Blythman are fans.

Some bright spark (I would use another term myself….) has decided to expand the railway line running through the roof of the market, which will also involve knocking down 23 of the beautiful listed and unlisted buildings in the closely surrounding area.

They already have planning permission , but are waiting funding and there is a strong local campaign to put a stop to it.

If you know and love the market in its present state, please sign the petition to prevent this from happening.

The plans, photographs and the petition are on the following: www.sabmac.co.uk

Unfortunately not a lot of people are aware of it so please sign it and pass it on to anyone else you know who loves this great bit of London heritage… AND LOCATION OF MONMOUTH COFFEE AND THE BEST MOZARELLA IN THE WORLD and that’s only two perfect things about Borough!
