With 2,000 years of history and having gained increased recognition since it registered as a charity in 1999, Borough Market is renowned throughout the UK for the excellence of its fresh food and its wide range of traders. It is also an important social and cultural forum for Londoners. Upon collecting the Evening Standard award in November, Trustee Will Sibley said: �Our aim at Borough Market is to educate, enthuse and excite. To bring sights, smells, tastes and experiences to the people of London, and to support the small farmers, growers, producers and importers that put so much effort into the produce they sell.� Borough Market is a thriving combination of wholesale and retail, with wholesale fruit and vegetable trading taking place at night and retail trading happening on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. In addition to this, many of the market�s retailers are also now trading wholesale, neatly closing the circle of the market�s regeneration. Borough market will continue to evolve to meet Londoners� needs and retain its position as the country�s most important retail market for fine foods. The trustees of The Borough Market believe everyone has the right to eat well.
