Great walkable area and well serviced by public transport. We walked up to the Thames and right along the South Bank into central London. There are great recommendations from Juli in the flat and we especially enjoyed Bermondsey Street with the bars and restaurants. If you like beer, the flat is on the Bermondsey Beer Mile and FourPure brewing in particular is a cool place to hang out with great beer and food. Southwark Park is really close if you want a walk or to go running like we did. Our favourite breakfast place was Canada Water Cafe where we had breakfast all 3 days we were there.
