The British Isles’ most famous cosmopolitan hub of London sounds a cultural clarion call across the world that millions of tourist heed each year, which sees them flocking to this iconic city in droves. London is a city boasting international flavours and delights, and this is apparent nowhere else than at the Borough Markets, which unites food artisans from across the country, all hawking a variety of delicious and unique food wares to tempt and titillate the palate. Quality cuisine is best enjoyed from stellar accommodation, which can be found at a Mayfair serviced apartment such as those offered by the Ascott Mayfair London. Boasting a central location close to fine dining and shopping, these London serviced apartments exemplify style, luxury and class in the heart of the city’s most elite neighbourhood. Take a stroll down to the Borough Market, otherwise known as one of the largest wholesale and retail food markets in London, whose culinary artistes whip some tasty treats from around the world. Some of the market’s most famous traders include DeGustibus, Petergott and Sillfield Farm, and Brindisa, a Spanish company. However, there are a range of unique smaller artisans whose delectable offerings you simply must try out. Sample one of Mrs. King’s delicious pork pies or buy a few delicious jars of homemade preserves from Jill Liddell-Grainger. If you’re diabetic and want some handmade cereals and treats, then Mini-Magoo’s is the place for you.
