It is South of the river, beyong an iconic bridge and has seen the newest art galleries settle lately, in between its fancy street market and hispster cafes, rings a bell? Brooklyn maybe? Nope, Bermondsey, London.
This small neighbourhood like only London has sits just South East from London Bridge; to reach it you just need to go through the new hectic site of construction aroung the London Bridge Station, pass by the new tallest building in Europe, The Shard, and climb down the stairs towards Saint Thomas Street. 5 minutes later you'll be on Bermondsey Street.
The Shard in the sun
Once over the Shard's dizziness, you turn into a very suburban, arty and tourist free neighbourhood, in the very heart of London, SE1, 20 minutes away from the so-well-know Tower Bridge or Tate Modern.
Bermondsey is the home of the trendy Maltby Street Market and has attracted around lots of lovely restaurants and welcoming cafes like the unmissable Street Cafe, on Bermondsey Street.
Bermondsey Street is also the home of the White Cube Gallery in South London, qu'on ne presente plus...
The gallery currently host incredible pieces by the Chinese artist Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan was born in 1965 in Anyang City, Henan Province, and lives and works in Shanghai, China. From 1998 to 2005, he lived in New York, where he gained international recognition.
Bermondsey is definitely worth a tour.
