Borough Market, London


One of the best places to get a wide range of great food is no other than the Borough Market, in London. It's also nearby the London Bridge tube station.

The Borough Market is open on Thursdays (11AM - 5PM), Fridays (12PM - 6PM) and Saturdays (8AM - 5PM).

 Burgers or sausages, anyone?

 New at the Guild

 This is definitely one of my favourite stalls for food!

 There's a queue at any time of the day, specifically for this stall. 

 While queueing up, the aroma from the meat or cheese will make you feel very, very, hungry. 

 The staffs are very friendly too, and there's free candies as well!

 We ordered the spiced lamb.

 Tried some olive oil... fantastic! I love basil olive oil!

 The stall owner

 Cheese

 Pumpkins galore!

 Meat, anyone?

 Sangria, wine, and everything else...

 There's 1 cool corner which has a variety of beer from all over, especially German beers. Oh boy, they're fantastic!!!

 They say you've not been to England unless you have tasted their famous pork pie!

 Carefully cutting the meat

 Goat's milk ice cream

 It's all Christmassy already :)

 Biltong

This stall offers everything baked that has some elements of carrot in it

Winter Wonderland

At the end of the year, a part of Hyde Park would be transformed to a wonderment known as Winter Wonderland. People of all ages can enjoy vast activities such as rides, attractions, food and shopping! I took the tube to Hyde Park station.

 The main entrance

 On an unrelated note, here's a few pictures of a very cute squirrel. Squirrels at Hyde Park are not afraid of people as compared to the ones in Malaysia. The squirrels here would actually go to you for food. If you have nuts at your hand, even better! All you need to do is to have a handful of nuts on your palm and they'll get it from you:


Alright, done with the squirrel and back to Winter Wonderland:

 The Giant Observation View

 Bye leaves. See you next spring!

 Alright, done with seagulls, pigeons, wildfowls and swans here.

 Ferris wheel ride

 Robin Hood... reminds me of Nottingham ;)

 Gingerbreads!

Mulled wine... one of my favourites

 Cafe Bavaria was where we had our drinks and where we settled down for an hour for the warmth

 Sweets!

 Loving the colours

 Another place with mulled wine

 A variety of butter scotchs. Gordon thought they looked like soaps from Lush

 Lollipops, anyone?

Lights


We bought some Churros from the guy above :) Churros was delicious!

 Look what have we got here? Santa has his own pub!

 You spin my head right round, right round...

 SANTALAND!


 Roller coaster ride!

 Trying out the long shutter speed

 The pretzels stall


This is a must visit place if you're in London this winter season. It's one of the main highlights of places to go. There's plenty of good food, drinks, rides that's going to enhance your Christmas holidays!
