Continuing our World in London series, we asked ex-VLer Eileen Geibig (who has sadly for us returned to Germany) where she used to go for a taste of home.
Eileen pointed us in the direction of the German Deli in Borough Market:
“They sell Bratwurst with Sauerkraut at the market – to die for! I recommend a type of sausage called Nuernberger Rostbratwuerstchen that you can buy there. They are tiny sausages with lots of herbs and funnily taste even better with English Colman’s mustard.”
Do you agree that German Deli serves the best Bratwurst in London? We’d love to hear your ideas about Germany in London.

Kurz & Lang near Smithfields have nice wurst too. Also Austrian café Kipferl nearby.
Oh yes, the German Deli is amazing. They also sell typical German bread and loads of items that I miss from home and can’t find in London supermarket. I recently discovered a website of a German bakery in East London – Berlin Delicious – which I haven’t tried yet, but the breads and cakes and “Torten & Teilchen” look very delicious.
I have been amazed to learn that there is a routemaster going around selling yummy German deli food too!

Wonderful!
I checked this out on your recommendation. I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks!
