About

Borough and Southwark Street sit on the south bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Southwark, centred around Borough High Street and the east–west run of Southwark Street. The area mixes former industrial buildings and Victorian warehouses with market stalls, specialist food shops and theatres. Menier Chocolate Factory, a 19th-century chocolate factory on Southwark Street now operating as a 150-seat theatre and restaurant, anchors a block and supplies a regular programme of productions.

Railway viaducts cut through the streets; many arches host workshops, restaurants and creative offices. Short lanes and cobbled yards step down from the main streets, linking to Southwark Cathedral and the stalls of Borough Market nearby. Daytime trade is focused on food retail and small-scale manufacturers; evenings bring theatre audiences and late service at local pubs and eateries. Good local transport — frequent buses, tube and mainline services, and nearby cycle routes — makes the area easy to reach.
