A Saturday afternoon recce for my flatmate's sisters hen night brought us to Bermondsey Street - just a stones throw away from Tower Bridge, but a world away from the tourist buzz of the SouthBank. It has a village feel, as is filled with independent shops and bars.
I got a delicious Banh Mi (spicy Vietnamese baguette) from Caphe House - a small little Vietnamese cafe and coffee shop. They also sell a few Vietnamese staples that are really hard to find in London - they even had the smallest bottle of sriracha I've ever seen!
We also had a drink at The Garrison where we were surrounded by a group of people who had done the bull run in pamplona for years - and were out celebrating the life of a friend who had done the run with them.
The Shard officially opened last week - and there's an amazing view of it from the top of the street.
There are always the best signs and carvings on old buildings - it helps you imagine what the streets were once like.

The White Cube Gallery is right in the middle of the street, and we were lucky to catch the last weekend of the Damien Hirst show Two Weeks One Summer - which I really enjoyed.
