Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce will lay a wreath at the Borough Market in London to remember the victims of the city's most recent terror attacks, which included two Australians.

Mr Joyce is overseas to attend trade talks and will next week make his way to Brussels for discussions about free trade.

He will take time out of his schedule on Sunday evening, London time, to visit the popular market where three men went on a stabbing frenzy after ploughing a van into pedestrians on London Bridge earlier this month.

Queenslander Sara Zelenak, 21, and South Australian Kirsty Boden, 28, were among eight people killed in the attack.

Ms Zelenak, who described by her aunt as "the most beautiful, happy, positive young lady", was farewelled at a private funeral service in Brisbane on Friday.

Ms Boden will be laid to rest in her South Australian hometown of Loxton on Monday.
