South London - London Eye and the County Hall

Travelers will discover some of the most distinguished galleries, theatres and concert halls in South London, located south of the River Thames. Stretching from Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge, visit the Globe Theatre, the Tate Modern, Butler's Wharf and the Design Museum, not forgetting the Oxo Tower.

The South Bank has become popular with tourists since the London Eye began to fly and having its fair share of attractions. The Thames River Walk gives pedestrians a spectacular view of the regal north shore.

The Borough Market is good for produce shopping and Bermondsey is known for the antique shops. Visitors will come across fine galleries, art cafes and gastro pubs in this area.

At Southwark, visit the Southwark Cathedral, which is the most ancient Gothic church in London -- built in 1220. Southwark was also home to William Shakespeare. He wrote the majority of his greatest works whilst resident here and visitors can still see these plays at the Globe Theatre.

If looking to stay in the area, the Southwark Rose Hotel is located near the Tate Modern. Or stay at the Enterprise Hotel, if you are on a budget.
