The Electric Elephant Cafe
186A Crampton StGreat food
Lovely fresh food, lots of stalls with some great choice. I highly recommend the mushroom pate stand; get a pot, and some fresh crusty bread - it's amazing! You can sit in the grounds of Southwark Cathedral for lunch, or wander down to the river.

The prettiest bridge I've ever seen! It has exhibits, and you can get tickets to go on the high walkways or visit the engine rooms.
I recommend getting the 35 or 40 bus to London Bridge station, getting off there and then walking along the river to the east. Tower Bridge will come into view.
If you want to see the bridge lift then visit https://www.towerbridge.org.uk/lift-times/ for the times.

Pub lunches and drinks
The Sunday roasts here are amazing, they come out incredibly hot and are so tasty! Fantastically friendly staff too who can't do enough for you. Highly recommend.
It's definitely a pub by the way, not a cinema like Airbnb are insisting. Weird!

Health and Exercise
I see these runners every Saturday morning. They start at nine and run 5k around the park which is mostly flat but with some small hilly bits. The volunteers are great, they keep it all very organised and are very encouraging to the runners. I swear I will join them one day!
If you want to join them, check out the website for registration: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/burgess/
You'll need to print out a barcode; ask me or visit Exact print on the Walworth Road - right opposite the McDonalds
