Our photographer's studio on Frito Lay was in the Borough and we managed to sneak over there with him one morning before we started the day. It was amazing! There was a cheese shop there that was out of control. Gigantic rounds bigger than my head....

I visited close friends in Oxford twice and honestly found food to be of a standard that is not far from what we have here in SF...

I lived in London for a year, and am moving back this fall (I'm a native San Franciscan), and until I discovered Borough Market I suffered from serious food homesickness!
London has a great food scene, but it tends to be expensive, and markets like Borough are a great way to get the same standard of food without the markup of a restaurant.
If you're still in London, though, and you want to check out a great restaurant, my recommendation is Ristorante Semplice, in Mayfair. So Italian (I lived there too) and so delicious and just overall wonderful. I can't wait to get back there.
(Love this blog, by the way. I frequently come here and read your reviews when deciding on a new restaurant to try. And the photos make my mouth water!)
