Where to Go in Southwark, london: Top 15 Attractions & Local Favorites

Stanley Mullin Amazing experience, my kids love.

Arnon Beautiful museum. Small but lits of technical and graphical descriptions if his projects. Going down the tunnel peer is amazing.

Lady Katie Thayer I love the colours and the different levels which makes a great place to explore there is a lift that stops at ground, first and second floor levels of the balcony thing creating a step free access opening it up to everyone. This is such an enjoyable place to be. I also enjoy being near the vents and hearing the underground Trains passing by underground.

Michaela Storoschuk Honestly, skip the plaque and go up to the observatory for incredible views. It was a mission of a hill, but worth it to see the whole of London’s Northern skyline. In autumn-just perfect.

Matthew Gordon big fan of the spherical window in the middle

Anne Margaret White Walked through on the way to London Bridge Winter Market. Lovely decorations under and glass roof. Wished Hays on the River cocktails bar was open, but it really looked fun. Not too crowded and lots of photo ops or just space to enjoy the sites of the season. A few shops and eateries are here too, but come for the decor and views along the Thames.

stephanie briones We really enjoyed the game. The storyline was fun and educational. Easy to navigate and you can go at your own pace. We got to admire many parts of Greenwich and the Naval grounds; the scenic views were beautiful whilst learning history we didnt know before. The rest breaks in the beautiful pubs were lovely to reflect on our quest. You feel like an explorer. We did this on your typical London rainy day but despite the weather this activity was still fun, adventurous and achievable. Bring a pen or two and comfortable shoes.

lego bezzi Amazing place!!

Afolabi Balogun Good Environment

Olga I visited Lambeth palace on their Open House event in December 2025. I can highly recommend it as it’s a lot to learn and explore. The volunteers were very helpful and welcoming. Such a wonderful place to visit!

Jacks T Amazing views and great experience for a little of something different. We were 2 couples on a dine and view package. We enjoyed some bubbles whilst watching the daylight disappear exposing the fantastic city lights across iconic London scenes. We were there approximately 1 hour but it could have easily been longer. Highly recommend a visit.

Edmund Zifuk A lovely open green space with plenty of room to walk, relax, or enjoy a picnic. The river running through adds to the peaceful atmosphere, and it’s a great spot for families and dog walkers alike. Always feels calm and well looked after

Florin George Beautiful place for a walk or running or just relaxing. I highly recommend it

Esther We walk here regularly.. usually me and the dog as do a varied mix of people; couples, families, there are spaces for groups to sit I first visited with the lewisham nature gym and am grateful as I now live down the road and so usually visit once a week. The paths are a mix of gravel and newer wooden boardwalks, which I did avoid when it was frosty but the other paths were great. The sunnier pictures are from August and the pond looked neglected but has been sorted out, looking so much better now.. thank you to those who care for it

Alex H The Equitable is an old converted bank come shabby-chic Antic pub. The decor is nice. Great beer selection. The food isnt bad at all. Pricing is reasonable, particularly when you compare it to other up-market pubs in the area. The staff are very friendly. Definitely worth going.
