Today's post is going to be another one based in my home city, London. I love sharing my London adventures with you and hope to inspire someone's visit! I have previously written about Covent Garden, Afternoon Tea on a London Bus, Self-drive boating and more!
I often find myself gravitating towards London Bridge and the Southbank when choosing places to hang out in London. I have put together this list of activities for those of you who are perhaps staying in a London Bridge hotel and want to find some local things to do and see. Also for you Londoners who are looking for a new area to explore!
*The spending money was gifted by Hotels.com, but all views are my own.*
Where the Pancakes AreArch 35a, 85a Southwark Bridge Rd, London SE1 0NQ
For the best pancakes in SE1, Where the Pancakes Are is a fabulous spot for sweet or savoury, stacked pancakes. My favourite flavour is the banana and blueberry, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
London Grind
2 London Bridge, London SE1 9RA
Just at the foot of the south-side of London Bridge, London Grind is one of many "Grinds", a popular restaurant chain across London. This is a great place to stop for a coffee or bite to eat. I love the trendy, industrial style decor and brunchy menu.

Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 2UP
This is a classic, must-see monument in London. Tower Bridge is just a 5 minute walk from London Bridge station (not to be confused with one another!) I love this particular viewpoint of the bridge. There is even a small green, perfect for a picnic lunch.
The Ivy, Tower Bridge
One Tower Bridge, Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 2AA
Just by Tower Bridge is The Ivy. I love the Ivy Brasserie group, having visited many of the branches all over the UK. I love the Tower Bridge Ivy for a place to have a casual drink or a spot of Afternoon Tea. These pictures were taken in the bar area, however, see this blog post, for another great area to take pictures!
Borough Market
8 Southwark St, London SE1 1TL
Borough Market is a must-see during a trip to London Bridge. This historical market is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London, dating back to at least the 12th century. It is home to a load of food stalls, so save your appetite for a visit to Borough Market!
Tate Modern
Bankside, London SE1 9TG
Lastly, I would highly recommend a visit to the Tate Modern on Bankside. It is just a short, scenic walk from London Bridge, along the Southbank of the river. I love the Tate for its many changing, modern exhibitions and it's interesting architecture and interiors. My favorite Tate exhibition is the Feminism and Media one.
