Leather Lane Market will be open om Friday and has a.decent selection.
This is the best (but yes, go on Friday - it's shut Sat/Sun).White Cross Mkt also good, but only weekdays as well.
Camden has a good selection
I'm personally not a fan of Borough Market. Good for (expensive) ingredients, but there are better places for street food. The food isn't bad, but it's really geared to tourists so expensive + not good portions.
Kerb outside the National Theatre (Waterloo) is there on Saturdays and has a decent array of stuff!
Spitalfields Market has some amazing food stalls in the centre and outside down the lamb street side. They've got a bunch of decent market stalls for shopping as well.
Afterwards you can:
Afterwards you can:
- Walk past (or not) the 10 Bells, one of Jack the Rippers hunting spots.
- Trundle down to Truman Brewery for more clothing markets or Brick Lane for random stuff.
- Finish with a well earned pint in one of the few East end boozers left around there, The Pride of Spitalfields. More Ripper links here with two suspects being regulars.
- If you're still thirsty, get lost in the alleys and walk to The Bell on Middlesex St. which has some great comedy taxidermy to snigger at (closed Sundays).

Good shout, much prefer Spitalfields over Borough Market now. The surrounding area is also far more interesting now with loads of really good food places up and down the side roads around Shoreditch (although not strictly street food). Afterwards you can:

I think you've got all the best spots now. All I can add is another 'Don't go to Borough Market' voice. Overpriced, v busy and mostly about posh cheese and single origin olive oil at 30quid a bottle than street food.
Oh, just one more thought - a salt beef bagel from the 24hr place at the top of Brick Lane is never a bad choice. Nowhere to sit if that bothers you but utterly delicious.

Boundary gardens on Arnold’s circus has seats. Oh, just one more thought - a salt beef bagel from the 24hr place at the top of Brick Lane is never a bad choice. Nowhere to sit if that bothers you but utterly delicious.
