The riverside location was once an important hub with leather and textiles the key trades, together with food processing. Peek Frean Co’s biscuits, Sarson’s vinegar and Hartley’s jam were once produced here, with locals naming the area ‘London’s Larder’. By the 1960s most of these factories had closed and the warehouses and wharves stood quietly until the 1980s when developers reignited the area by converting them into offices and apartments. Although the years have brought many changes, the lively community spirit of this neighbourhood has remained and you’ll find it everywhere, from the converted warehouses, and hidden railway arches to the modern buildings and quirky boutiques. — 18 — — 19 — — The Taper Building — — Local Area — The Shard London Bridge The City Bermondsey Street Tower of London Tower Bridge + Computer enhanced image — 20 — — 21 — 05 — The Taper Building — — Local Area — CHEAPSIDE LE ADENHALL STREET The local 04 LO WER THAMES STREET round-up E G D I R B 06 K Bermondsey Street is right on your doorstep R A and is your first port of call when exploring.
