The London Bridge Hotel

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. 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 miles), Monument (0.3 miles), Shakespeares Globe Theatre (0.4 miles), Millennium Bridge (0.5 miles) and the Royal Armouries and fusiliers Museum (0.5 miles).
