“As fun as it sounds. Our man, Oscar, was all too happy too lead us around the Borough Market area - pointing out building of historical significance as well as pubs, restaurants and other come-back-and-see-them spots. Of course there were doughnuts. Thankfully, Oscar brought each of us a bag to collect our half-eaten stash so we wouldn’t have a sugar-seizure mid-tour. The doughnuts themselves were a varied lot. From the traditional to the wild. And all were worth sampling, but of course we had our favorites. Our tea stop was a breath of perfumed air. All in all, an excellent entree to the food and drink scene around Borough Market.…”
