Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce will lay a wreath at Borough Market on behalf of Australia to honour the victims of the London Bridge Terror attack.

Queenslander Sara Zelenak, 21, and South Australian Kirsty Boden 28, were among the eight people killed when three men ploughed a van into pedestrians on the bridge before stabbing many other victims in the popular market in early June.

Mr Joyce, who is travelling to attend trade talks with Michael Gove, the UK's Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, will lay a wreath on Sunday evening London time.

He will later make his way to Brussels for free trade talks.

Ms Zelenak was on Friday farewelled at Moreton Bay College in Brisbane with a private funeral service.

The former student had been living in London and working as an au pair.

Ms Boden, a nurse who was named as the "angel of London Bridge" after she ran towards danger to help the wounded, will be farewelled in her South Australian hometown of Loxton on Monday.
