I’ve had quite a few people tell me that they think Monmouth serves the best coffee in London. I’m more of a tea drinker myself so I can’t make such claims just yet, but according to TripAdvisor, it’s not just those who I’ve spoken to who think the same. If it’s not too busy (read— a queue out the door) then pop down at one of their wooden tables a...
Bankside and the nearby areas are a haven for a good time-lapse video. So switch to the time-lapse settingon your smartphone’s camera and capture the tourists exploring, the boats that sail along the Thames, or anything else that you can find with lots of movement. • The balcony on the second floor of the Tate Modern, looking down • Watching touris...
Like an American diner, but better. Prepare for nostalgia, a line out the door, and a good breakfast/lunch/brunch. The London Bridge locationis one of six because Londoners and visitors alike just looooove it. You’ll probably have to wait in line to get a seat but hey, it’s worth it for those fluffy pancakes…
I’ve been to The View from The Shard, the tallest building in the EU, during dusk. Now watch this video and imagine it overlooking the dark city, with three DJs, and a mob of people dancing with headphones on. That’s Silent Disco at The View from The Shard, and it’s an experience that would be hard to come by. TimeOut London hosts the Silent Disco ...
Enough food options available that even the pickiest eater will find something they love, this is such a great market to visit.

Bedales is an intimate wine bar within Borough Market, and while their wine tastingsare run by professionals, the atmosphere is casual and approachable— no wine snobs here. For just £35 per person you can taste 5-7 wines (in generous servings, I’ve heard) and enjoy artisan cheese and charcuterie from Borough Market to share. There are 10 spaces at ...
You can’t have a guide to Bankside without mentioning the Tate Modern. I’m not a huge art fan myself but I can appreciate the contemporary pieces here, with some by Picasso, Matisse, and Dali, my favorites from art history class.

Jan 24, 2019 · Bankside was once a cacophonous pleasure zone with brothels, bear-baiting, gaming dens and four Tudor theatres: The Globe, The Rose, the Swan and the Hope. Shakespeare and Dickens lived here. Samuel Pepys watched the Great Fire light up the London sky from here in 1666.
Today, rich in art, entertainment and culture, Bankside has a bold and independent spirit shaped by its past. We want those who work, explore, live, visit and invest in Bankside to understand why it’s different and attractive.
Nowadays it houses many modern buildings as well as riverside attractions such as a recreation of the Globe Theatre and the huge Tate Modern art gallery, which used to be Bankside Power Station belching out smoke from its tall chimney.
