Bankside and Beyond
Just south of the river is one of London’s most dynamic areas with regeneration projects valued in the billions. Borough, Bankside and Bermondsey are in a sustained period of change, with many new developments such as Neo Bankside by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, The Shard and London Bridge Place (nicknamed Baby Shard) nearing completion.
New cultural venues have moved into one of the oldest quarters of London as industrial buildings are being put to new uses.
Housing developments are transforming communities such as Wansey Street Development (dRMM) and Alexander Fleming House by Ernö Goldfinger (now Metro Central Heights) in Elephant and Castle.

Feedback from attendees
"With our passionate and knowledgeable guide, we saw how areas are changing all the time, buildings going up etc and having been given the context of an area its great to revisit and explore further"
"I wasn't as familiar with south of river, so this tour was a perfect oppotunity to learn more about the development of The Shard, so much in the news and hear about the future development of the area"
“Being a visitor to London the tours are something different, not just the usual tours of key tourist sites, they give a real sense of the exciting changes taking place in London. It is a great way to get to know London better”
