Southwark has earned its reputation as London's fastest growing tourist area, with a richly varied history and a current vibrant arts scene that adds up to a potent collision of old and new.

Back in Shakespeare's day, Southwark's entertainment scene could definitely be described as a colourful one, with bearbaiting and brothels lining the streets. Today there really is something fascinating waiting to be discovered around every street corner and entertainment to suit all tastes and ages.
