London Bridge is a vibrant and cosmopolitan area full of interesting sights to explore and things to do.  Our London Bridge centre is set within walking distance of some of London’s well known landmarks such as the historic and colourful bustle of Borough Market which is one of the largest food markets in London, and sells a large variety of foods from all over the world.  It is also near to the IMAX Cinema which shows 3D films and has a screen that is more than 20 metres high and 26 metres wide, making it the largest in Europe.  Situated on Newington Causeway, our centre is also close to Elephant and Castle which is currently undergoing a major regeneration scheme which plans to build more than 5,000 new and replacement homes.  The area has a lively mix of people, with more than 100 different languages spoken. This provides a cultural diversity that can be clearly witnessed amongst the locality.  From Polish delicatessens and West Indian market stalls, to Latin American restaurants and traditional London pubs, Elephant and Castle has something for everyone!
