Borough Market

Talking about the origin of the market and how it has changed over its 500 year history. Also some hints and recommendations for visiting the market.

Southwark Cathedral

A church has stood on this site since Saxon times, and visitors have include Shakespeare and Dickens. It also has strong links with the USA.

London Bridge and the Thames

London Bridge can trace its roots back to the Romans and has been the gateway to London ever since.

The Clink

The Bishop of Winchester's palace and prison have a dark history. But also the last Bishop to live here had possibly a bigger impact on the English language than anyone in history.

Site of Shakespear's Globe theatre

This was Tudor London's theatre land and where many of Shakespear's plays were first performed. We will hear about the Globe and its rivals.

Current Globe theatre

The amazing reconstruction of Shakespear's Globe is a London landmark. We will hear about how this project almost never was and the inspiring American who made it happen.

Borough Market

We can return to the market and be dropped off to continue visiting the stalls or find somewhere else to eat. Also can guide you on to the Tower of London, St Paul's cathedral or Tate Modern art gallery, all of which are a short walk from the market.
