Britain is home to a diverse range of acclaimed chefs and Michelin-starred restaurants housed in stunning buildings, many of which offer panoramic city views. Over the last few years, the United Kingdom has continued to demonstrate why the old-fashioned notion of British cuisine is just that – an out-of-date misconception. From Scottish haggis and Welsh rarebits to English sausages, Bedfordshire clanger, and the remarkable Stargazy pie, there's something for everyone. Something new to try is constantly available. Here are some of the top markets and food halls to visit in the city.

Borough Market

This gourmet monster must be mentioned in every roundup of street food stalls! The Borough Market in London served as a street food market pioneer, opening the door for this culinary craze to take hold in England. You could spend an entire week eating your way through over 100 stalls offering an astoundingly broad choice of food (anything from the best cheese toastie to gourmet doughnuts). If you want to avoid crowds, go during the week rather than on the weekend. The market is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tooting Market

While Borough Market appears to have the limelight on it all the time, Tooting Market is a lesser-known but equally outstanding hidden gem that won the Best Small Indoor Market category at the 2017 Great British Market Awards. The market includes just about anything you might desire, including food with selections from Germany, Lebanon, and Guyana, grocery, drink, and textile sellers from all over the world. Shop and then unwind with a drink or two at Unwined. This unusual business, owned and maintained by the skilled duo Kiki and Laura, provides guests with a comfortable wine bar, shop and monthly guest chefs with coordinating wine pairings. In the chaotic Tooting Market, you can find food stalls and restaurants with only a few seats scattered among African fabric stores and Caribbean grocery stores.

Brandon Street Night Market

Brandon Street Night Market at Canal Mills, which attracts a young, fashionable population, is a cool monthly event that encapsulates this lively city. Every month's final Friday features a great range of street food options, craft beer, live music, and art to get your weekend started. There are also cocktails and other alcoholic beverages available.

Bitten Street

Oxford's top street food market, Bitten Street, was founded in 2014 by three local foodies. The vibrant market, located in Oxford's Castle Quarter, is crowded with local vendors and some of the top street food vendors in the nation. All of them were hand-selected for their outstanding food and distinctive vans, trucks, or booths. You have the ingredients for a great Saturday if you add music, beverages, and a welcoming audience to the mix.

KERB Camden

KERB Camden, a daily market displaying the city's lively street food culture in all its diversity, is located in London's historic Camden Market. The 34 vendors each offer something unique, so whatever you're looking for, you will almost certainly find it here, including Oli Baba's famous halloumi fries.

Broadway Market

Broadway Market, located on the historic Broadway Market Road in one of the city's trendiest boroughs, Hackney, is open daily, with more stalls accessible on Saturday, the market's busiest day of sales. This Victorian street market may have inspired the long-running popular British soap series EastEnders. Many migrants and refugees, including Jewish, Kurdish, and Caribbean populations, have found safety in the borough. The food, naturally, reflects the community. From Indonesian to Indian to Ghanaian food, there's something for everyone here, including sandwiches loaded to the brim with roasted pork, apple sauce, and crackling, a must-have with any decent Sunday roast.

Mercato Metropolitano

Discover culinary delights at Mercato Metropolitano, a massive old paper factory where over 40 merchants have set up shop. They feature a diverse menu of international cuisines, ranging from Italian and German to Vietnamese and Japanese, and there's even an on-site microbrewery.

Seven Dials Market

This is the never-sleeping food court. Seven Dials Market, located on Earlham Street, is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. until sunset. This food hall is the creation of KERB to strengthen the city's street food markets. Small food enterprises could reach customers while offering Londoners a better lunch option than a mediocre generic sandwich. Find this indoor food store wonderland by looking for the neon banana sign. Inside, there are two bars, as well as nibbles in Cucumber Alley and more substantial meals in Banana Warehouse.

Lower Marsh Market

Lower Marsh Market operates exclusively throughout the weekdays and closes on weekends, unlike many other markets in this city that are active during the week but bustle during the weekends. Given its prime location close to London's Southbank and Waterloo Station, this strategy may assist the market in prioritising the neighbourhood's residents rather than the numerous weekend visitors who swarm to the region. The market contains stalls selling hot food worldwide.

Kingly Court

Kingly Court, an elegant three-story structure with an outside courtyard, is a good place to stay if you're looking for some rest and food while exploring London's fashionable Carnaby Street. Despite being outdoors in the summer, the courtyard is luckily covered in winter. Kingly Court is home to some of the most wonderful eateries, including Imad's Syrian Kitchen, Pizza Pilgrims, Dirty Bones, and The Good Egg. Eat inside one of the building's restaurants or bars or in the centre for the spectator sport known as people watching.

Maltby Street Market

Maltby Street Market has gained popularity among many local Londoners since 2010. The market, housed in the Victorian-era Ropewalk railway arches, offers both indoor and outdoor dining and a carefully chosen assortment of sellers. Maltby Street is worth a visit since it is surrounded by interesting stores and eateries, including 40 Maltby Street, which is worth seeing even if the market isn't open. A trip to this market will allow you to accomplish a lot. Visit the fish market, which has an oyster and Champagne bar, and the barbershop. You can also buy cured jamon in thin slices or treat yourself to a plateful of Ethiopian food. While you're here, pick up some gyozas from the market's Gyoza Guys vendor, which was just named the finest street food in London by Time Out.
