The 10 Best Shopping in Southwark, England
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Eames Fine Art is now almost as synonymous with Bermondsey art as White Cube as the premier cultural destinations in Bermondsey Street, also a Mecca for fine dining having attracted moth-like Jose Pissarro and Dame Angela Hartnett amongst other culinary luminaries. In addition to the original gallery at No. 58 towards the top end of the street there’s now a Print Room almost opposite White Cube not to mention a studio stock room only the latter currently closed in this time of health emergency. I was lucky enough to catch one of the last days of the exhibition in the print room of exquisitely crafted and vibrantly coloured monoprints by the talented Sophie Layton whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the gallery itself. I spotted names on browsers including Amanda Danicic, Harvey Daniels (whom Sophie told me was her teacher at Brighton) and Henri Matisse (who teaches and edifies us all). Just down the road in the gallery I caught the start of an exhibition of prints by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. It’s one of the largest exhibitions I’ve seen of Hepworth prints outside the Hepworth in Wakefield. With names such as Opposing Forms, Moonplay and Olympus they seem to invoke Greek Gods and elemental forces in equal measure. Henry Moore’s human figures seem much more prosaic and vulnerable by comparison. My personal favourites are the small yellow and black seated figures from the late 1960s unsurprising already sold.

An amazing food market dating back to the 13th century.

Borough Market is a must see when spending time in London. The market stands on a location that purveyors have been selling their good for nearly a 1000yrs. This place is a foodie heaven and is great place for delicious affordable eats as well as gifts and mementos that can be enjoyed at home.

British glassworks shop.

We passed by after our visit to White Cube Gallery on the same street. Free to enter, we watched 3 men working as a tight-knit team, creating a large glass object. The finished work on display and for sale is world-beating. It is superb and beautiful.

Neal's Yard Dairy select, mature and sell farmhouse cheese from the UK and Ireland. We work with about 40 cheesemakers. We visit them regularly to taste their cheese with them and select the batches we want to mature and sell. Amongst the cheeses we select there is a great deal of variability. Cheese can change hugely, depending on how it is treated. We have a range of temperature and humidity controlled maturation facilities at our warehouse in London, run by a team who are dedicated to ensuring that we sell our cheese at its best. As the cheese is maturing we continue to taste through the stock to ensure we are aware of how it is developing over time.

We really enjoyed the Cheesemonger's lunch at Neal's Yard Dairy. The selected cheeses were lovely, as were the accompanying drinks & Emma our host was friendly, engaging & extremely knowledgable. It's clear that everyone who works there has a passion for cheese making! The only downside was that we planned to return the following day (Sunday) to buy some cheese to take home, but the shop was shut (as is the whole of Borough Market). Our fault for not checking!
