Southwark / Bankside (West)

The Tate Modern, ladies and gents. It deserves all the praise it gets. And next door there’s Shakespeare’s Globe, the modern reconstruction of the Elizabethan playhouse where the Bard of Avon’s works were contemporaneously produced. Both make this looked-after stretch of the Thames embankment a treasure for those hungry for culture. For those hungry for something else, you’re spoilt with quirky options: Try Baltic for Polish Hunters’ Stew, The Table for award-winning brunches, or Laughing Gravy for a restaurant named after Laurel & Hardy’s dog.
