Love the Queen’s walk. Walked along the Thames many times, this area really has a lot on offer. Still didn’t go up the Shard though

I don’t think one can complain too much when you have such a view from your office as you have Hannah. It’s amazing how many different eateries there are in Southwark – it doesn’t sound like you have to take lunch from home when you go to work. Love the photos of The Anchor pub … I’m surprised that you actually find time for work when you’re in Southwark.

A great guide to Southwark! I briefly worked in Borough on secondment years ago and it was a fab place to work. There was always something new to see at lunchtime or after work, and lunchtimes in Borough Market were dangerously tempting.

Southwark is absolutely delightful. You are so right about each area of London having its own distinct identity of a city within a city. Borough Market is a great place to explore and eat. We’ll be sure to refer back to your list of recommended places when we visit again. Wonderful shot of Bankside, the Anchor Pub sounds like a great place for a drink on a sunny day. The oldest surviving surgical theatre in Europe – imagine the things that went on in there.

Wow, the view from your office is awesome! I don’t think I’d ever get any work done, I’d be too distracted. Ha!

I don’t think I have been to that area of London. Looks like there are plenty of things to see.

I love Southwark, and have spent a lot of time exploring the area over many years. My English ancestors came from Suffolk, and “emigrated” to Southwark before moving to Dulwich and then emigrating to New Zealand. I have written about my search for these ancestors in travelwithgma.wordpress.com/2020/02/09

I hadn’t realized that my mother and I had been to Southwark on a trip together in 2016 until I saw you mentioned Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe. It’s a lovely area. If you’d only written this eight years ago ;-0 We walked from several underground stations away and got lost.

Such a great guide of the area! I second The Black Pig, we loved our sandwiches when we visited. The picture of Bankside looks like a movie set.

It sounds like there’s a lot going on in Southwark! Plus it’s by the water, which is always lovely. It’s pretty cool that you work in this area and sometimes even have meetings in the Southwark Cathedral.
