Bermondsey Loft

The quality of transport links is often the key to any London location, and Bermondsey Loft is especially fortunate. The nearby London Bridge station (10 minutes by foot) provides easy access to the Jubilee Line, Northern Line, Overground and National Rail trains, making getting around London a carefree task.

Bermondsey is a lively neighbourhood with a lot on offer. Walking around, you'll find the area rich in vibrant street art. Indeed, Bermondsey Street itself is lined with contemporary art galleries and studios. Poke your head into the White Cube Bermondsey for a peak into the very latest international contemporary art.

Foodies won't find it hard to savour the flavours of London, given the delicious cuisine at local eateries and trendy cafes. Maltby Street Market is an absolute must. This feast for the senses boasts enough artisanal food stalls to make your eyes water (but it will have your mouth watering first). Once you've had your fill, you should probably return to the comfort of the loft to recharge – because Bermondsey's effortlessly cool collection of bars, pubs and nightlife spots will keep you occupied until the early hours. The renowned Bermondsey Arches is a great place to sample some of London's craft beers and an equally good place to start a night out.

The neighbourhood is also spoilt for green spaces. Indeed, within a few blocks of the loft, you'll find a handful of pleasant parks with tree-lined paths and cafes to watch the city hum along. Once you're well caffeinated, there are plenty of things to see and do, from landmarks such as Tower Bridge and Bermondsey Abbey to brilliant museums such as the Fashion and Textile Museum or the Tate Modern, housed in a former power station on the Thames River.
