Borough Market is a charity, run by a board of volunteer trustees. They have a responsibility to ensure that what we do here works for the benefit of the community: for our shoppers, our traders, our neighbours, and all the other people whose lives we might affect.
Borough Market receives no public funding and we do not currently carry out any fundraising activities on our own behalf. All core income is derived from our estate via pitch fees and rents levied on our Market stands and investment properties.

The ATM queues at the market can be a little 'testing' (read 'long') so if possible, try to get your cash out somewhere else beforehand. These days, most traders also accept contactless payments too but take a little cash, just in case.
