Introduction: The London Bridge Hotel is located in
Southwark just yards from London Bridge Station, part of the national mainline
network, a stop on the jubilee and northern tube lines and a connection for the
river bus service. The hotel and station are located almost adjacent to the
southern end of London Bridge itself. This means its just a few minutes walk
across the bridge to the City of London, the financial heartland of London, and
known as the 'square mile'. The bridge is also at the east side of the city with
the northern end right by the A3211/A1203 which gives a direct road link to the
Docklands/canary Wharf areas, or onto London City Airport. The hotels location
is also convenient for the
Waterloo mainline station which is less than a mile from the hotel and can
be reached by road bus or tube (or even a brisk walk). The River Thames itself,
just yards from the hotel, is one of London's attractions in itself. There are
dedicated walks along its banks, places to stop and sit, bars that overlook the
river, river tours and the river bus service. London Bridge City Pier is your
local river stop. Just south of the hotel is Borough High Street with a range of
shops, bars and other amenities. Although not really in a tourist area there are
however many places of interest in the local vicinity to the London Bridge Hotel. These include
Southwark
Cathedral, London's oldest Gothic building, which is just 140 yards from the
hotel. Bermondsey Antiques market is always popular and is open on Fridays
between 04.00 and noon. Its just over half a mile from the hotel in Bermondsey
Square. Other attractions of note are the
London Dungeon
(220 yards), Vinopolis City Of Wine (0.2 miles),
Bramah
tea and coffee museum (0.2 miles),
HMS Belfast (0.3
