Not strictly speaking a bar or pub, but London's first wine bar, or vintners, with the feel of a private members' club. Serves good classic food as well as an incredible array of wines. This is on the same street as us!

Arts & Culture

Apart from the special exhibitions, it's free! Kids love running round the massive Turbine Hall, there are great cafes and shops and the space is a work of art in itself.

Just across the road from us, a lovely intimate theatre that often has shows that later go on to the West End - has a great restaurant attached. Unfortunately no longer makes chocolate.

Everything Else

An old burial ground for the 'outcasts' of London, including the many prostitutes who used to work in the area when Southwark was London's playground. Now a beautiful garden of remembrance.

This is my local church! Not as obvious as some of the more famous London Cathedrals, but still free to visit! Regular services if you're interested, but they are very welcoming to visitors who just want to have a look round. Has some interesting historical connections with William Shakespeare and John Harvard.

Shopping

A small, manageable shopping mall which is a nice walk from our place. Lovely and quiet at the weekends compared to the more obvious shopping destinations in London, as it's mainly frequented by city workers in the week. Has a nice mix of High Street chains and higher end shops, plus some good restaurants.
