Eat your way around London Bridge
A Southwark local's list of where to eat, drink and wander within a short walk of London Bridge.
In brief
A Southwark local's list of where to eat, drink and wander within a short walk of London Bridge. Almost everything worth eating near London Bridge is within a 15 minute walk, so pick by mood, not by distance. Originally reported by Marlin.
Southwark, on the south bank
Marlin's London Bridge apartments sit in Southwark, right by the Thames, with bars and restaurants a few minutes' walk in every direction.
Breakfast worth queueing for
Terry's Cafe is a proper old-fashioned English caff, 7 minutes from Empire Square. Good value, friendly, and the full English is worth the wait in line.
“There may be queues, but their breakfast is well worth the wait.”
Pancakes at any hour
Where The Pancakes Are serves pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, 15 minutes away. Nearby, Lobos Meat and Tapas does Iberico pork 10 minutes from the door.
Dinner up in The Shard
Hutong sits on Level 33 of The Shard, an elegant Chinese restaurant with a wide menu and city views. Book it for a date night, not a quick bite.
Pasta, wine, and ale
Padella ranks among London's best Italian spots, 7 minutes away. Tap & Bottle pours from 100-plus specialist wines inside Devonshire House, and The Woolpack has the beer garden.
“Offering a diverse collection of more than 100 specialist wines”
Fashion between meals
The Fashion and Textile Museum is a 9 minute walk from Empire Square, open Tuesday to Saturday, with changing shows of contemporary fashion and textile design.
The short version
Almost everything worth eating near London Bridge is within a 15 minute walk, so pick by mood, not by distance.
