Check this out for a taste of British culture
Experience London for two weeks, and you can say that museums, art galleries, and various local cultures have all been explored. Let me introduce some today.
1⃣️ Borough Market: London's largest and oldest market. It gathers everyday ingredients such as: cheese, ham, flowers, fruits, etc.
🌟 Cheese Mushroom Rice: Full of creamy flavor, but a bit too rich after one serving.
🌟 Fish and Chips🍟: Tried a few places, the taste is really average, can only say it's a local British snack, just have a little taste.
🌟🌟 The longest queue at Borough Market is for the Spanish seafood rice (simplified version): The curry soup base is a bit salty, but overall not bad. The owner is chubby and cute.
🌟 Fruits: Strawberries, cherries🍒 are really cheap and not too sour, worth buying a portion.
🌟 Italian Big Bread? There's also a long queue, it's flaky pastry stuffed with various meats: pig's head, chicken, beef. The pork flavor is delicious😋
🌟 Ice Cream🍦: The ice cream here is mixed with cream, very milky, but also easy to get tired of.

2⃣️ Beer🍻 The distinctive drinking culture of Britain, Londoners gather in groups at the pub door to drink and chat after work.
【Black Friar】 One of the most famous local beer spots, very crowded, best to book in advance.
There are many types of beer here: craft, wheat, fruit beer. You can ask the staff for recommendations, although many words are also not understood🐒
But you can tell him to try some of their most popular ones, he will let you try four different flavors. We chose the one with the strongest fruit flavor, suitable for girls.

3⃣️ Musical🎵 'The Lion King': This enduring musical, even if you don't understand English, is still watchable. There's something very touching here, foreigners are really expressive and good at showing their emotions. Every time a piece of music ends, they clap and whistle vigorously👏, while at home everyone just claps briefly at the end. Here, the whole audience stands up and applauds after the curtain call, which is a great affirmation for the actors.

4⃣️ Tea: It seems that the largest tea export is Japanese matcha, but British tea is also worth trying. 【Twinings】 is a local brand. There are many varieties, and the prices are moderate, suitable for gifts. There's tasting available, I chose fruit tea for my good sister, it's very fragrant and slightly sweet, I think it might also taste good with some milk and honey.

5⃣️ Sunbathing🌞, in addition to the cultural activities mentioned above. Sunbathing is also a daily routine for Europeans. London has many parks and lawns of various sizes. Just find a place to lie down! Enjoy life😎
Always very busy but there are really big range of food for your choice. Although I prefer to go to seafood restaurant on Borough Market, it’s a bit pricey though but the food is fresh and comfortable place to have a dinner.
London's Borough Market is a culinary haven, bustling with diverse food stalls and fresh produce. A must-visit for food lovers, it offers a vibrant atmosphere and a taste of London's rich gastronomic scene.
A great food market in London. I love the seafood (oyster bar & the mussels). I’d recommend you guys go straight to the oyster bar and the mussels (most people queued there so it’s easy to find out).
Great food market to visit - all sorts of foods from around the world to tempt you! Hot, cold, drinks and cakes - you won't leave hungry!
Borough Market is famous for its wide variety of high-quality food products. It features an array of fresh produce, meats, fish, cheese, baked goods, and specialty foods from around the world. Many vendors focus on organic and sustainably sourced products.
This is a great market to walk around with so much to offer if you like food! The permanent stands are always good to visit but you may have to wait in line. There are also some really nice shops and restaurants in the area and it’s right on the train line so very easy to get to.
