Borough Market is busy, noisy and bursting with good-value seasonal fish, vegetables, fruit and expensive delicacies. London’s oldest food market, it has been around 250 years at its present site. It was set up on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans built the first London Bridge.

Nicholas Saunders set up a few businesses in Neal’s Yard, Covent Garden in the late 1970s. Neal’s Yard Dairy opened selling Greek Style Yoghurts, Crूme Fraiche and fresh cheeses on July 4th, 1979. A couple of years later, Saunders asked youthful and inspired cheesemaker Randolph Hodgson to take over. The shop in Borough Market opened in 1996.
