Borough market is London's oldest market and one of the greatest experiences of our wonderful city! It was established on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans built the first London Bridge and people have been trading on this site for over 2000 years. it's a beautiful undercover food market and a truly wonderful part of London's history. Some bright spark has decided to expand the railway line running through the roof of the market, which will also involve knocking down 23 of the beautiful listed and unlisted buildings in the closely surrounding area.
They already have planning permission, but are waiting funding and there is a strong local campaign to put a stop to it. If you know and love the market in its present state, please sign the petition to prevent this from happening. The plans, photographs and the petition are on the following site:

Unfortunately not a lot of people are aware of it so please sign it and pass it on to anyone else you know who loves this great bit of London heritage.
