Southwark

Southwark is a bustling district by the River Thames, with cultural draws like the Tate Modern gallery and Shakespeare's Globe theatre. Borough Market is a popular spot for artisan eats and produce, and cosy pubs like the George, a 17th-century inn, are welcoming spots to have a pint. Centuries-old Southwark Cathedral is dwarfed by the soaring Shard skyscraper, which has a viewing platform and restaurants.
