SOUTHWARK AND BANKSIDE

Southwark once offered an escape from the company was famously based at the Globe
City, a place to indulge in the many forms of Theatre, which has been rebuilt close to its
entertainment that were banned across the original site. Today, the south bank of the
river. Among the illicit pleasures that thrived river is an attractive riverside promenade
here from the late 16th century were brothels, that connects several of the city’s major
theatres, and bear and cock pits. Borough High sights: the vast, ever-changing Tate Modern,
Street was lined with taverns – the medieval standing opposite the Millennium Bridge;
courtyards that run off it mark where they London’s finest food market at Borough; and
stood, and the George Inn survives as the the Shard, the city’s tallest building, with
only galleried inn in London. Shakespeare’s vertigo-inducing views from its pinnacle.
