About the area

Bermondsey stretches south-east of Tower Bridge and still carries the feel of its old warehouse district. On Shad Thames, iron walkways criss-cross overhead between the buildings, a distinctive, film-like setting that makes it a popular photo spot. From the riverside at Butler's Wharf you can frame Tower Bridge head-on. At weekends the food markets are great for food content.

Area character

  • Cobbled lanes lined with converted Victorian warehouses
  • A riverside with close-up views of Tower Bridge
  • Food shoots at the weekend Maltby Street Market
  • Fewer tourists, so you can shoot at a relaxed pace

Start the morning at Butler's Wharf with Tower Bridge behind you, then cut through the lanes of Shad Thames to Maltby Street. The market mainly runs at weekends, so aim for late Saturday morning.
