Introduction: Sitting on Tower Bridge
Road the Bermondsey Square Hotel has excellent links into the City of London
which is just the other side of Tower Bridge. This location is on the
southern side of the River Thames some 2.5 miles from the heart of tourist
London around Piccadilly Circus on the northern side. Bermondsey has
recently taken on a reputation as the trendy up and coming younger brother
to some of the more established trendy hop spots in central London. Thanks
in part to a £60 million regeneration project for the area. The hotel is also
close to major amenities not least of which is Bermondsey square itself
which the hotel overlooks. The square is home to a popular antiques market
and the surrounding areas has many shops, bars, pubs and restaurants.
There's a small supermarket opposite the hotel allowing for essential
groceries. Major high street shopping within half a mile along Borough High
Street. 1.5 miles from the major mainline railway station at Waterloo and
half a mile from the mainline and tube station at London Bridge.
