Fashion & Textile Museum
We’re big fans of fashion that makes a statement – as well as fashion museums that make a statement, like theFashion & Textile Museum. While visiting Bermondsey Street, you really can’t miss its out-there facade. You might think a combination of hot pink, burnt orange, bright yellow and baby blue is a fashion no-no – but architect Ricardo Legorretta clearly disagrees. Inside, you’ll find a fabulous museum devoted to all things fashion and style. Their ultra-cool rotating exhibits celebrate di...

Visit Vinegar Yard
You know we’re all about a great food market – and Bermondsey Street has a particularly fab one inVinegar Yard. It’s just at the top of Bermondsey Street, across the road from London Bridge. Sister to one of our long-standing faves,Flat Iron Square, Vinegar Yard was always going to be a winner. Describing it just as a Bermondsey Street food market does it a disservice. It’s also a shopping and art space, with the weeklyLondon fleataking place there each weekend. We’ve got to admit we’re mainl...
Flour & Grape
Another great option if you’re peckish in Bermondsey isFlour & Grape. There’s a simple premise here: fresh pasta, and great wine. It’s a pretty epic combination, and Flour & Grape have it perfectly down. Their handmade pasta is a total delight – especially the amazing tagliatelle (wild girolles – yum.) The only problem with this great Bermondsey Street eatery is that you might never be able to go back to store-bought pasta again. Sorry.
Casse Croute

Don’t forget to check out their drinks list, which is quite...
Pique Nique
Sister restaurant to the above-mentioned Casse Croute, the wittily-named Pique Niquewill be noticed first and foremost for the odd mock-tudor building it’s taking up space in. That’s not to say the food isn’t giving its fair share of shine. Like its sister restaurant, you’ll find a sumptuous menu of French classics that are to-the-core legit. Yep, lay on the foie gras, bring on the champagne. It’s that kind of an affair. A meal here is definitely not for anyone who is trying to cut butter and...

The Garrison
Having opened up its wooden doors in 2003,The Garrisonwas one of the first Bermondsey Street pubs to really embrace the foodie revolution. More than a decade and a half later, it’s still doing what it does best. Great food, great service and ample drinks. The menu relies mostly on seasonal British produce, and is absolutely delish. The wine list is pretty great too. Oh, and did we mention they do bottomless brunches on Saturdays?
F*ckoffee

Sep 26, 2022 · A relative old-timer on Bermondsey Street, Hide Bar has been keeping the good people of Southwark in cocktails since 2007. The industrial feel of the original remains, but the bar now focusses almost exclusively on pouring drinks sourced in London, with most “distilled, brewed, fermented or produced” within 2km of the capital.
Aug 6, 2023 · Pizarro. Ideal for sharing Spanish plates… It could quite convincingly be argued that the celebrated Spanish chef José Pizarro rules the restaurant roost in SE1, with not one but two celebrated tapas bars in Bermondsey, and a certain level of ubiquity on lists such as this.
