Over the last 2,000 years, The Old Kent Road has brought so much in and out of London that it’s basically The Thames – but paved and in the heart of Zone 2.
Today this old stretch of road is becoming something new: a destination in its own right. Industries are moving out and creativities moving in, transforming The Old Kent Road into a cultural hotspot of NYC magnitude. And right at its heart is where THE BeCa will be.
So if you prefer pints over puns then Bermondsey Beer Mile is a great place to spend some time getting to know. Elsewhere in Bermondsey you can get inebriated by art at the White Cube Gallery, catch a show at the Scoop, or cosplay your favourite naval commander at the HMS Belfast, Europe’s largest cruiser from WWII.
Today, London is a city rich in produce markets and food stalls – all of them trading in the shadow of Borough Market. Since 1756, it’s been a sensorial pleasure bomb of smells, tastes and artfully displayed produce day in and day out. Even King Charles III once confessed that he gets jealous of the devotion it inspires. So go irk the king by falling in love.
You’ve never really seen London until you’ve looked down on it from 72 floors up with a negroni in hand – and there’s only one way to do that: on the observation deck at the Shard. To find it, go to London Bridge and look up. Or, if heights aren’t your thing, don’t worry there’s plenty to see here from any altitude.
This long-standing but also fast-developing neighbourhood is home to plenty of museums, university students and food halls, but it’s best known as the place to be when the sun goes down. Thanks to world-class night clubs Corsica Studios and Ministry of Sound pumping out subterranean ontz-ontz-ontz all night long, it’s not exaggerating to say that the streets literally shake.
Maltby Street is a former strip of industrial nowhere transformed into one of London’s finest food, drink and market spaces. Set inside a series of brick arches with a working train line on top, Maltby Street is a carefully curated temple to all things craft, handmade and small batch. It’s the kind of place where you’ll sit down to some Gyoza between a person eating a duck breast, and a person eating Ethiopian vegetables and Kocho on the other. And all of you will be drinking London-made beer and gin.
The result? Peckham Levels, a seven-story paean to all that makes London living great – housed (of course) in an asphalt palace that used to be a car park. Food, drinks, co-working, cinemas, performance spaces, DJ nights, you name it and Levels probably has it. And if not, elsewhere in Peckham certainly does.
Acquiring its name from the arrival of ships from, you guessed it, Canada,
this area has evolved from a once thriving and historic London Docklands
location into an established residential area with a unique feel.
Located just to the north of THE BeCa, Canada Water is one of London’s
largest mixed use regeneration projects, spanning 53 acres at a cost just
short of £2 billion. A developing high street. 2 million sq ft of workspace
accommodating 20,000 workers. 650,000 sq ft of new retail and leisure
space. A state-of-the-art leisure centre. 16 acres of new parks and public
places > All soon less than 20 minutes away.
