If you're one of those people who loves the products sold at London's Borough Market, but can't stand the crowds, there are two options.
1. Don't go on Saturdays.
2. Maltby St Market!
My mom, who is more up-to-date on all things London than I am (she's back in California, but reads the Financial Times), sent me this nice little article on the new Maltby St Market near Tower Bridge. It's not really a full-blown market, but it's where the purveyors of many of Borough's finest products have their shops and warehouses. These include Monmouth Coffee (best coffee in London as far as I'm concerned), and Neal's Yard Dairy, but also a lot of other wonderful companies I'd never heard of. Definitely worth checking out, I think, if you're a local like me who is sick of the tourists gawking and pushing around in Borough.
Read all about it here (there is great photography as well):
