Bermondsey hip, urban and creative.
Living in Bermondsey
Bermondsey is an increasingly trendy area on the south bank of the Thames, just north of Southwark, and hailed by some as the new Hoxton.It is an area that blends history with modernity, while keeping at its core a strong sense of community.
In recent years Bermondsey has been put on the map by a host of celebrity residents and the arrival of people working in the creative industries.
Property developers have spotted the opportunity in Bermondsey, and there are very few pieces of spare land that arent earmarked for development or in the midst of it.
For those after a touch of period character, many of the Dickensian warehouses such as the Tower Bridge Road Jam Factory have been converted in to residential space.
Whilst students and professionals are well represented, you wont find many families here. Despite some newly regenerated green spaces off Bermondsey Street, this is no nappy valley.
At the areas heart is Bermondsey Street, where there are artists studios, shops, museums and restaurants. The area owes much to its proximity to the docks, which has historically made it the capitals larder where food was processed and stored.
The area is famous for the Friday morning New Caledonian Antiques Market in Bermondsey Square, and afterwards a visit to Hays Galleria in Tooley Street is highly recommended as a good place to eat and shop.
Transport
Bermondsey is served by major rail and underground connections via London Bridge and Waterloo.The Jubilee line will transport you into the area from the West End and out to the east of the borough, as well as a good number of bus routes to Waterloo Station and Central London.

History and culture
Bermondsey Street declined as industries moved out of London. Its fabric was in a state of disrepair. The street was perhaps best known to visitors as the route to Bermondsey Antiques market.The market moved to Bermondsey Square from Caledonian Road in the 1950s and is still held every Friday. Many of the former warehouses are used by antique dealers, offering a large variety of items.
Today Bermondsey Riverside's historic urban character has been conserved while its economy and environment have been transformed. New and vibrant businesses have become established, providing the area with a durable base for continued and sustained regeneration.
For visitors, the area contains major must-see attractions such as HMS Belfast, Hay's Galleria, the London Dungeon and the Design Museum.
