Van's place was ideal for a four-day weekend in London with two adults and two kids (ages 11 and 15). The flat itself is comfortable with nice touches that give it a simple but elegant feel. There's a leafy park across the street with a small playground. A block away, Bermondsey St is a quaint, walkable street with good restaurants and very little vehicular traffic. 10 minute walk to London Bridge to catch tube/mainline rail. Easy walk to Tower Bridge and the Tower. 10 minute walk to Borough Market, which is crowded on weekends but has great food and people watching. There's a bikeshare station in the park across the street, and we were very impressed with the improved bike infrastructure since we last visited London. We biked to Westminster in 20 mins. We've been to London several times but had never really explored much in the Borough/London Bridge area. We absolutely loved it. Great neighborhood feel AND excellent connections by tube, bus, or walking to popular attractions.
