Similar to ID1, this modern apartment in a quality residential development offers a good size [850 sq ft] 2 bedroom 2 bathroom [one is shower] apartment in a strategic location in London. It is only 10 minutes from either Canary Wharf or the West End, and a minute from the riverside. This welcoming, modern apartment provides a comfortable base for any visit to London. New restaurants and important tourist attractions abound in this burgeoning neighbourhood, from Tower Bridge westwards. Try, as an interesting restaurant, the eastern 'fusion' cuisine of Champor-Champor on Weston Street, enjoy the nightly Turkish guitarist at Taz on Borough High Street, grab a pizza and glass of wine at Pizza Express or indulge yourself at Cantina Vinopolis a short walk away within the modern Vinopolis wine 'warehouse'. Or meet your friends at the modern Fish! restaurant by the market, or go Japanese with Feng Sushi by Borough Market, or take a treat in the rare Peruvian treat in a restaurant on Tooley Street, or go Chinese or Thai....
The area of Southwark is an important historical area as Borough High Street was THE original route into London. A string of attractions now line traffic-free riverside walkway: Tower Bridge, London Dungeons, Britain at War Museum, the Shakespeare Globe theatre, the modern Vinopolis wine warehouse, Borough Market - a very successful Fresh Food Market (showing the best English integrity food from enthusiastic, individual producers), the 'Clink prison' (originally the Bishop's private prison), Southwark Cathedral, HMS Belfast batteship, and the hugely popular (and mainly free) Tate Modern art gallery. Now the Millennium Bridge links the Tate with St Pauls Cathedral. The City is just across the river and is worth touring with a walking guide. With 6 out of 10 of Londons top attractions on the South Bank and riverside, the Thames South Bank is one of the most impressive and entertaining walks in London, day or night.
