The famous tourist trap has finally reopened after the devastating attack on June 4, when three attackers crashed a van on nearby London Bridge and ran down towards the market stabbing passers-by.

Holly and Phil headed to the site of the atrocity today and set up just yards from the place where the three knifemen were gunned down by armed police.

They moved the location of the show there to show the market is now finally back in business after the attack.

Borough Market traders opened their doors again yesterday following a lengthy closure as police investigated the scene of the bloody knife rampage.

A minute's silence was held to to remember the victims of the atrocity before the market bell clanged at 10am to signal the reopening of the popular tourist hotspot.

Holly and Phil interviewed some of the stall holders working at the market and spent time tasting the different foods on offer.

Eight people were killed when Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba ploughed into pedestrians with a white van on London Bridge, before going on a stabbing spree in the nearby market with 12-inch ceramic knives.

They were later confronted by armed police in a deadly showdown close to the entrance to Borough Market, and all three were killed in the gunfire.

A fund for traders hit by business losses since the attack has been launched to offer financial support.

 Traders, locals, members of the police and the world's media gathered to observe the silence
