Bankside
Bankside is one of central London's riverside destinations that stretches from Blackfriars Bridge to London Bridge and that boasts some of London's most iconic attractions including Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe.
Bankside offers such a concentration of unique visual and performing art venues including Bankside Gallery and the Menier Chocolate Factory Theatre as well as a plethora of independent restaurants and bars offering high quality food and drink on top of the organic retailers within the well-known and award-winning Borough Market. And at Vinopolis, London's unique wine tasting attraction, you can learn all you need to know about wine, whisky and Champagne.
From the riverside walkway you can admire views of the City of London and St Paul's Cathedral on the opposite shore, which is linked to Bankside by the Millennium Bridge, the newest bridge to be built across the river.
