The southern location is in reference to the City of London to the north, Southwark being at the southern end of London Bridge. In Old English , Surrey means "southern district (or the men of the southern district)", [ 4 ] so the change from "southern district work" to the latter "southern work" may be an evolution based on the elision of the single syllable ge element, meaning district.

Think of a sight that defines London, and this combined bascule and suspension bridge may spring to mind. Tower Bridge (1894) is in a decorative neo-Gothic style, and today forms a neat river-spanning ensemble, with the Tower of London on the north bank and Norman Foster’s City Hall (2002) to the south. The bridge’s 1,000 tonne bascules, 8.6 metres...
Opened at the former Bankside Power Station in 2000, the Tate Modern is one of the world’s largest museums for modern and contemporary art. The building, started just after the war, was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott (who came up with the famous red telephone box). The museum makes the most of the old power station’s awesome sense of scale, in par...
In 1997 this close replica of the open-air Globe Theatre opened on Bankside, close to where the original used to stand. The first Globe was established by William Shakespeare’s playing company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men in 1599, to be destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt and eventually closed by the Puritans in 1642. The new, half-timbered Shakespea...
London’s favourite permanent food market has been trading at this location since the 13th century at the latest, and is housed under a beautiful metal and glass structure from the 1850s and 60s. In the past Borough Market was all about fresh produce, and while there are still plenty of traders selling fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat, poultry, fis...
The London Skyline is forever changing, but was completely transformed in the space of a couple of years when this Renzo Piano-designed skyscraper sprouted. Topped out in 2012, the Shard was more than a decade in the planning, and at just under 310 metres is the tallest building in the UK and the tallest in Western Europe. Piano’s design was intend...
From its foundation in the early 12th century until 1538 the solemn riverside Gothic church belonged to an Augustinian priory. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was spared as a parish church, and in 1905 would become a cathedral when the Diocese of Southwark was created. Southwark Cathedral’s layout dates to a 200-year phase of construct...
The suspension footbridge crossing the Thames from the entrance to the Tate Modern has been here since June 2000. The Millennium Bridge literally got off to a wobbly start, and was closed just two days after opening until February 2002 to fix stability problems. As a piece of architecture the Millennium Bridge is something to behold, especially at ...
The old Bethlem Royal Hospital, with grand portico and dome, sets the scene for the Imperial War Museum London. The museum moved here in the 1930s and in 1968 the pair of 15-inch gins from First World War battleships HMS Resolution and HMS Ramillies were unveiled on the lawn in front. The hospital building is mostly occupied by museum offices, whil...
Managed by the Imperial War Museum is the WWII-era Town-class light cruiser moored between London Bridge and Tower Bridge since 1971. This is the most important surviving Royal Navy warship from the Second World War. HMS Belfast was damaged by a mine in 1939, then escorted Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union in 1943, and was involved at the Battle o...
The oldest surviving operating theatre in Europe is concealed in the garret (attic) of the 18th-century St Thomas’ Church, atop a 52-step staircase. Dating to 1703, the Baroque church was built by the governors of St Thomas’ Hospital, which had been on this site since the 12th century, and moved from Southwark to Lambeth in the 1860s. For the first...
