Negronis, indoor climbing and doughnuts: it's the best bits of Bermondsey
Beer, markets and foodie delights: Bermondsey is buzzing. What’s the vibe? Once a slum area and the backdrop for Dickens’s 'Oliver Twist', today Bermondsey...
Once an important part of London’s river trade, Bermondsey sat derelict for several decades, until the area’s wharves were renovated in the 1980s. Now it’s a lively part of town, with some exceptionally good restaurants and coffee houses, although they can sometimes be a bit tricky to find. Bermondsey also has plenty of excellent bars and pubs, usually packed to the brim with visitors and regulars. Bermondsey can turn Londoners into tourists: The Scoop in particular attracts both out-of-towners and locals to its free quality events.
