Gibbon's Rent is a green oasis nestled among the gentrified warehouses of Bermondsey, overshadowed by the glass and metal pillar that is The Shard.
Created in a little known cut-through between Magdalen Street and Holyrood Street, Gibbon's Rent is a community garden. If you weren't actively seeking it out, it's highly unlikely that you'd stumble upon it, despite its proximity to Tooley Street and the hustle and bustle of City Hall.
Narrow in shape, the curving tarmac path is lined with greenery on either side, from smaller plants in pots, to long-rooted trees. An information board at the entrance encourages people to bring their own plants, or pick up a watering can and do some watering as they pass through.
The focus is more on horticulture than in most public spaces. There's no grass, but a few benches and chairs lie scattered about the narrow path for visitors to make use of. Whatever time you go, you're unlikely to be fighting for a seat — we visited in rush hour and the three other people that we saw were merely in-the-know locals using the cut-through to go about their business — all seats were available.

The natural lighting and the open feeling of the space create a peaceful escape from urban stress. Classes are held throughout the week at convenient times. The Yoga classes are run by a mixture of independent teachers who teach a broad range of styles.

Small, but nice place to have a picnic and lets the kids play in the playground. There is also an adventure playground as well as a play space called Ellen Brown.

The Mayflower is a hidden gem boasting great views over the river from both the outside jetty and upstairs restaurant. Walking into the pub is like stepping back in time to 16th century London with the original mooring point of The Pilgrim Fathers’ Mayflower ship. Find yourself soaking up the traditional ambiance and imagine who may have been sitting in your seat almost 400 years ago!
The menu throughout the pub and restaurant offers delicious British gastro-pub dishes and European-fusion style food, freshly cooked to order by our chefs. Upstairs you will find an intimate, candlelit restaurant with stunning views across the river. The main bar has a great range of well kept ales, craft beers, British cheeses and tastefully chosen wines. The Mayflower is a great place for a celebration, family meal or quirky date, with the cosy snug area or upstairs restaurant perfect as function rooms.

The Roebuck could well be one of Borough's best kept secrets. Independently owned and loved by the locals, The Roebuck offers a broad selection of beers and ales from around the world, a freshly prepared menu full of locally sourced produce, an easy going atmosphere and a friendly welcome as standard.
Tucked away at the leafier end of Great Dover Street, The Roebuck balances being a little bit off the beaten track with being incredibly easy to get to: Borough tube is less than a five minutes stroll away, whilst a ten minute quickstep brings you from either Elephant & Castle or London Bridge.
Built to imposing Victorian proportions, the large, airy pub boasts an incredible upstairs function room, packed with period fixtures and an indeterminate charm.
