Squash, mushrooms and cobnuts: Borough Market’s autumn kitchen
Borough Market’s autumn recipes put squash, mushrooms and cobnuts to work in proper cold-weather cooking. Near London Bridge, the better question is not which queue to join first, but whether you have come for lunch or for ingredients.
Make the season the starting point
Borough Market’s autumn collection combines a produce guide with recipes, including squash, mushrooms and cold-weather cooking.
It is a source of ideas rather than a live list of stock or prices. Read the trader information for anything you need to buy specifically.

Two very different market visits
A bag of ingredients and a street-food lunch require different budgets and different decisions.
Choose a dish before arriving if you plan to cook; for lunch, decide what you want to spend before adding a drink, a snack and something to take home. The market can easily become three meals’ worth of purchases.
Plan around the market’s hours
The official visitor page lists Monday closure and different weekend hours.
Surrounding restaurants and individual businesses may have their own arrangements. London Bridge station is nearby; check your actual route rather than assuming every entrance or connection will suit your group.
Keep the visit comfortable
The market warns that visitor numbers can be high, particularly on Saturday afternoons, and that surfaces and passage widths vary.
Ask for the access information you need. A flexible nearby stop is more useful than promising a crowd-free visit or reserving a table that has not been booked.

Seven Dials Market before the theatre: leave time to choose and eat
A food hall near a theatre can solve a group’s menu disagreement, but it does not remove the need for a timetable. Seven Dials Market is mainly a walk-in proposition.
