### Borough Market 

**Open:** Every day in December (excluding bank holidays), with late night shopping until 9pm every Thursday and Friday.   
**Price:** Admission is free.   
Alongside their year-round stalls, Borough Market is putting on a range of festive activities throughout December. Visitors can watch a daily live performance or ‘cookalong’ from a top chef, such as Matt Jones, Ravneet Gill and Calum Franklin, before sampling some of the delicious local produce on offer. Take home a cheeseboard from the Borough Cheese Company, visit the Alpine Deli for charcuterie meats, and pick up your Boxing Day joint from the Ginger Pig. If you don’t have time to browse, Borough Market are also offering a bespoke personal shopping telephone service where they will deliver festive treats to your home (at selected postcodes within the M25).

### Selfridges Christmas Market

**Open:** Until 3rd January 2021, from 4-9pm on weekdays and 12-9pm at weekends.  
**Price:** Admission is free.   
Located at the back of the store on Edward Mews, Selfridges Christmas Market has a selection of pop-up stalls, food vendors and fairground rides for the whole family. While the kids slide down the Helter Skelter and ride the carousel, adults can buy a last-minute Christmas tree from Moyses Stevens, shop for decorations and accessories at the stalls, and stop off for a hot buttered rum, warm apple cider or hot chocolate at the mulled wine bar. The street food stalls have something for everyone, from decadent pasta by Cheese Wheel to burgers by Tramshed Project. Be sure to visit the Gully truck to sample their tasty Indian bites.
