The Best Food Markets in the United Kingdom

Covered market halls

Bury Market in Bury has hundreds of stalls for meat, fish, fruit, bread, pies and household goods, much of it now under cover. Swansea Market in central Swansea sells cockles, laverbread and Welsh cakes beside fish and meat stalls. Norwich Market in the centre of Norwich is a covered market with food stalls from many cuisines, and fabric, flower, herb, spice and vintage clothing stalls sit between them.

Markets in London and Oxford

Borough Market in London is a food market under the railway tracks, with stalls for oysters, paella, raclette and cheese. Pubs and a cider bar sit among its food stalls. Gloucester Green Market in the heart of Oxford is an outdoor market where about half the stalls sell food, from Thai, Korean and Malaysian cooking to Hungarian goulash and Mexican tacos. Antiques, vintage clothing and fresh produce stands sit beside them.
