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
