Neighbourhood
Borough and Bermondsey
Borough Market is a lunch, the Bermondsey Beer Mile is an afternoon.

An editorial note
Borough and Bermondsey are technically two neighbourhoods. In editorial practice, you do them together: a lunch at the market, a walk east along the river, an afternoon in Maltby Street, a beer at the far end of the mile.
What it is good for
A daytime crawl. A market lunch. A beer, or four, on a Saturday afternoon. A short walk along the Thames Path.
What it is not good for
A late dinner. Reservations after eleven. A grand room.
Worth a wander
- Borough Market
- Open Tuesday through Saturday. Monmouth coffee, Neal's Yard Dairy, Kappacasein. Always midday, never dinner.
- Bermondsey Street
- Pizarro for Spanish, Casse-Croute for French, the White Cube for culture.
- Maltby Street
- Saturday market. Coffee, cheese, an orange wine from a railway arch, a steak sandwich.
