Southwark Hotels
One of the oldest parts of central London, Southwark lies south of the River Thames. It experienced tough times during Britain’s industrial decline but has been substantially redeveloped in recent years, with lots of new offices, shops, restaurants, galleries and bars springing up. It also contains Southwark Cathedral and Borough Market and will soon be the location of “The Shard” (a.k.a. the London Bridge Tower), a supertall skyscraper under construction at London Bridge Station.
