Bankside: Shakespeare's Southwark

Shakespeare's rebuilt playhouse and the medieval cathedral beside it, a nine-century-old market still trading beneath the railway arches, a dead power station reborn as Britain's most-visited art gallery, and the ship that sailed round the world and came home laden with Spanish treasure — five stops across Bankside and Borough. 5 stops. Looking for things to do in Southwark? Start here — no attraction ticket is included; a valid access pass unlocks narration in the guide.
