Free Range Queuers


Free Range Queuers

Although there are no painted lines, instructions, organisers or arrows, the vast majority of people navigating Borough Market are able to queue in a non-systematic way without descending into absolute chaos.

From my observations, these free range queuers filed into spaces between other onlookers to get to the stalls in order to view, taste and purchase the various foods, oils and spices for sale.  Common courtesy plays a big part in this style of queueing as there are no rules for engagement, you sort of shuffle your way forward as others move aside.
