Recent years have seen a complete resurgence south of the Thames, which has allowed Southwark to become one of the tourist hotspots of London.

The London Eye, the Tate Modern, the Millennium footbridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the Rose Theatre, London Dungeon, the London Bridge Experience, the Imperial War Museum, the Golden Hinde.

Look no further than the list of attractions above, with historic sites such as the Globe, the Dungeons and the Tate Modern rendering Southwark a must-visit.

The London Eye was in fact only originally intended to remain in London for five years, but such is its popularity that it is going to be around for at least another twenty.
