The Location

South East London borough Southwark stretches from Central London on the River Thames down to suburban East Dulwich. A highly diverse borough, Southwark is home to an array of cultures and lifestyles and is popular to both live and work in thanks to a mammoth regeneration programme. It has transformed this borough into a well-connected, cosmopolitan district of London with help from the 1999 Jubilee Line extension.

More recently, new redevelopment programmes, such as in Elephant and Castle, have provided a residential hub for its younger than average population of largely city professionals wanting short commutes and a higher than average density of modern bars and restaurants on their doorsteps.

Southwark is well-known for its cultural attractions such as the Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and architectural joy The Shard. The borough is also famed for creative rejuvenation of its railway arches between Waterloo and London Bridge which now offers a truly unique experience including Flat Iron Square’s buzzy food and drink hub. This borough’s dining scene is amongst the best in London, with a vibrant mix of every cuisine imaginable, from street food pop-ups to high-end restaurants. Southwark is also home to 1000-year-old Borough Market, offering top-quality fresh produce and street food.
