Discover Southwark

Fill up your weekend and take a bite out of Southwark.

Get the low down on the sights, sounds and tastes that make Southwark London’s most historic borough and the capital’s fastest growing tourist area.

So why not check out cutting edge contemporary art at the Tate Modern soak up some history at Shakespeare’s Globe, visit the Museums in Southwark or walk along the Southbank to see some of the capital's most spectacular architecture.

Whatever your taste, there's plenty to choose from in our Eating and Drinking pages. Or you can find out more about your local heritage in Historic Southwark.

You can also find out which Southwark resident's, Dickens, Charlie Chaplin, Michael Caine, and Rio Ferdinand have helped to shape the world today. Go to our Blue Plaque pages and find out more.
