Borough Market, London, UK

We visit the London Borough Market.
It was the weekend and it was very crowded.  A lot of life and people.

We tried the Duck Confit sandwich.  Big portion but a tad too salty for my liking.
Wanted to try the Monmouth coffee, but the lines were way too long.

Tried some paella which was pretty good too.
