Bankside

WHERE CENTRAL LONDON HAS A TWINKLE IN ITS EYE

This is the bit of London that Londoners take you to if they want
to impress you. It’s a neighbourhood anchored by the city’s cultural titans — Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe to name a few — 
but within strategic reach of its best-connected travel hubs.

shopping
