Explore Bermonds Locke and beyond with House Host Diana. She’ll guide you through the area’s hidden gems, like a true local. From some of London’s best modern art to a spot for morning coffee and spectacular views across the London skyline.

Best spot for a morning coffee: Watchhouse Coffee

Set just off St Mary Magdalen Church, WatchHouse’s approach to coffee is as unique as its venue. With a motto of ‘globally sourced, locally crafted,’ every coffee is cupped, tested, and developed in their South London lab. Grab a specialty coffee to enjoy in-store or take it to the nearby park.

Best spot for a lunchtime treat: Hakata Ramen, Eatalia, Bread Ahead Bakery

There are a few great spots here, depending on what you're in the mood for. Eatalia and Bread Ahead are perfect for grabbing a delicious sandwich or pastry—definitely try the cannoli from Eatalia and the doughnuts from Bread Ahead. If you're craving something heartier, Hakata is a ramen and sake bar, ideal for a quick bowl of ramen or a drink if you want to linger a bit longer.

Best spot for some culture: White Cube Gallery

White Cube is a top modern art gallery that has steadily grown over the past three decades. Now representing painters, sculptors, and multi-disciplinary artists from 33 countries, it continues to diversify its roster. Throughout its evolution, the gallery has stayed true to its mission: to blend the contemporary with the historic and the historic with the contemporary.

Best spot for some fresh air: St Mary Magdalen Churchyard

Just around the corner from Bermonds Locke, Mary Magdalen offers a peaceful oasis of nature—perfect for finding some quiet time, reading a book, or catching up with friends.

Best spot for views of the city: Southwark Viewpoint

From here, you can admire landmarks like the River Thames, London Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Tower Bridge. It’s a must-visit for photographers—bring your camera to capture iconic sights.
