About

Borough Market, a major wholesale and retail food market, operates within its boundaries. The ward contains significant cultural institutions like Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe, which are housed in converted industrial buildings along the riverside.

The area includes several historic inn yards and the ruins of the medieval Winchester Palace. A high proportion of the land is used for offices and cultural venues, with residential population concentrated in specific developments. The ward functions as a central business and tourist destination, directly connected to the City by multiple bridges.
