The London Bridge area caters for all culinary tastes, pulling you in a manner of indulgent and wonderfully culinary directions.
As The Shard's very own restaurants - Aqua Shard, Oblix and Hutong offer fine-dining and unrivaled views of London, there is a whole host of eating and drinking possibilities nearby too.
Borough Market is a haven of street food stalls, artisanal bakeries, glorious produce and arguably the best coffee in Britain at the Monmouth Coffee Company. For a market that is a little more unruly yet progressive, Maltby Street Market is just east of The Shard. Try Ole-Martin Hansen’s smokehouse treats, Chef Grant Hawthorne’s Mozambique-style BBQ and Little Bird Gin’ artisanal G&T’s. Or just up the road you can find Bermondsey's beloved Village East, The Garrison, Tanner & Co and Casse-Croûte. Renowned chefs are also making their move to SE1 including, José Pizarro’s José, Gordon Ramsay’s Union Street Café and Mark Hix’s Hixter.
