Guide to the Best of Britain

Borough Market

For a true London experience, a visit to Borough Market is in order. Get lost among the produce stalls, the bakers and butchers, and sample some of the vendors’ fares for a real taste of “London’s Oldest Fruit and Veg Market.”

While England may be better known for its fish and chips than its grilled cheese sandwiches, Bill Ogglethorpe, owner of Kappacasein Dairy, might be the man to change all that. Hawking his toasted cheese sandwiches from a stall at London’s Borough Market for the past 12 years, Ogglethorpe’s mouthwatering grilled concoctions have become a bit of a cult favorite with locals and tourists alike. The Montgomery cheddar, the leeks, the minced onions and garlic (and probably a secret ingredient or two) melted to perfection and served on sourdough—it just might be the world’s best toasted cheese sandwich.
