Bermondsey
South London neighborhood
Bermondsey is a district in southeast London, historically known for its leather tanning industry and docks along the Thames.
Once a working-class industrial area, it has undergone significant gentrification since the late twentieth century.
We found a great pub in Bermondsey.
The area is known for Bermondsey Street and its antiques market.
