The oldest part of south London and developed around its location at the bottom of London Bridge (the only crossing point of the Thames for many years). Southwark is home to East End families who have lived in the area for generations alongside newer residents in the form of young professionals and expats to the UK. A once industrial district, Southwark is now a thriving neighbourhood of commercial and transport hubs as well as homes and happy families. In the middle of Zone 1, Southwark couldn’t be closer to the action and the hubbub of the capital.

Declining wharfage trade south of the river has seen much commercial development spring up in its place across Southwark, marking out a new wave of culture and community here.

The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by three tube stations: Borough, Southwark and London Bridge, the latter of which offers National Rail services as well as Underground. There are hundreds of cycle docking stations and lots of bus services.
