Revealing London Bridge

This historic city is ever changing, and nowhere is this more apparent than the London Bridge area. Under the glistening gaze of The Shard, Europe’s tallest building, it offers unusual sights and thrilling experiences alongside the world’s most famous waterway – the Thames.

This iconic area is one of London’s oldest neighbourhoods, boasting historical, maritime, culinary and sometimes macabre connections to events that have shaped the city’s history. Already world-famous, today it is a commercial centre that connects with the global community but retains a neighbourhood identity.
