Should you get back to London, check out the area south of the Thames!

Quote:

This area of Southwark was, and is, home to several famous pubs, the Tabard, from where Chaucer's Canterbury Tales begins, was nearby and The George Inn, London's only surviving coaching inn, is a short walk away. The area has many interesting old buildings and is full of surprises, including Southwark Cathedral and Clink Prison Museum.

Its also a popular movie location; 'Lock, Stock' and 'Mission Impossible' included scenes shot here.

Here are some South of the River links:

Pubs:

The George Inn Pub: A galleried former coaching inn... on the list of must see places for those interested in history and architecture.

The Market Porter: Another old pub, it originally catered to Borough Market employees and still opens for breakfast. Warm and cozy atmosphere. Good ales.

The Anchor: Another old pub along the waterfront. The current management did some remodelling. Public opinion? They shouldn't have mucked about with it.

Market:

The Borough Market, from their website:

Quote:

Borough Market is London’s oldest food market. It was established on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans built the first London Bridge. It has occupied its present site for 250 years.
Borough has a long and distinguished history as a wholesale fruit and vegetable market - wholesale trade takes place every night except Saturday from 2am – 8am.
