All around Great Britain are some of the greatest pastries to have ever been created. London is the epicenter of historical and new baked goods, and there are so many bakeries and markets that offer patrons delicious treats and breads. Here are the best places to visit when you’re traveling to London.
Fortnum and Mason
Fortnum and Mason is one of the oldest grocers in London. Opened in 1707, this establishment has been serving picnic baskets of jams and fine foods to the most elite members of society since the start. You can still find preserves, sweet and savory baked goods, included Scotch eggs, lemon drizzle cake, Dundee cake and more.
Borough Market
Located under the London Bridge, this market was established in the 13th century. Today, you can find just about anything there, including some of the freshest loaves of bread made the old school way with a sourdough starter.

Dominique Ansel Bakery London
If you want to know where the cronut craze started from, you have to go to French pastry chef Dominique Ansel’s bakery. Beyond that, the chef has other wonderful creations like portable souffle that won’t deflate and recreates many pastries to fit the 21st-century world.
