Southwark is one of South London’s most vibrant and diverse boroughs. In the north, you’ll find the hustle and bustle of the South Bank, Borough and London Bridge, where Britain’s tallest building, the Shard, dominates the skyline. As you follow the Thames west to east, sights like the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe make way for the industrial cityscapes of Docklands. Trendy Peckham occupies the heart of the borough, while affluent Dulwich’s green spaces create contrast in the south. It’s a magnificent region to explore on two wheels.

This Collection contains explorations of the Docklands region’s cycleways and towpaths, with some excellent views towards the City and Canary Wharf skylines, as well as some of the borough's beautiful parks.
