Discover Southwark
Southwark runs along the south bank of the Thames, from Bankside and the Shard through Borough and Bermondsey to Elephant and Castle and Peckham. It blends a dense business district at London Bridge with food markets, galleries and long-established residential streets. Large regeneration schemes are reshaping Elephant and Castle and the Old Kent Road, while Bankside's Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe draw visitors from across the world. The City is directly across the river. People need to be here for office and development work, hospital and university activity, events and sightseeing. The borough offers a wide mix of neighbourhoods and styles of housing, from converted warehouses and new apartments to period terraces, so there is plenty of choice at different distances from the river. Whatever your plans, WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Southwark through one point of contact.
