Borough brings a unique outlook

One of the focal points of London’s food chain, Borough Market receives in the region of 4.7 million visitors each year. But despite being on a par with the Tate Modern for footfall, it was ignored when the London Food Strategy was being formulated, and struggles with its market counterparts in the capital for political recognition. Borough Market’s chief executive Simone Crofton (SC) and board trustee George Nicholson (GN) tell Tommy Leighton that involvement in London Markets’ Month is a step towards addressing that.
