Living in Moonraker Point, you are situated in the middle of one of bustling districts of South London. The borough of Southwark was established 1965 and retains substantial parts of the old parts of London, so countless listed buildings will be around your way to University and back. Sights and landmark in the district include Tower bridge, London bridge, Tate modern, Dulwich picture gallery, Imperial War Museum, St. Georges Cathedral, the Globe theatre, the London Dungeon and Butler’s Wharf. But what would a perfect day in Southwark look like? Could you spend a whole day from breakfast to midnight WITHOUT leaving your borough? The answer is YES!

Brunch or breakfast, boozy or not, tea or coffee, Monday morning or Sunday afternoon, the options are endless. One of my all-time favorite spots is ‘The refinery’, not even 5 minutes away from Moonraker. They offer breakfast and all-day brunch on the Weekends. For a quick and authentically British bite on the go, grab a sandwich from ‘Frank’s café’. If you don’t let yourself get discouraged by the lunchtime crowd, get in line for a ham and cheese toasty. After a filling breakfast and a quick wander along the Thames, you’ll get to Borough market which you really cannot miss. It is one of the oldest markets in London and you will be spoiled for choice. Food stalls from all over the world lure with exotic smells and delicious dishes. Still fancy something for your sweet tooth? ‘Bread ahead’ doughnuts might be on the pricier side but they are definitely worth it! I would recommend the classic vanilla custard doughnut.

Activities would range on any day of the week from art exhibition at Tate or something more interactive such as the London Dungeon and Clink street prison. Enjoy a drink right next to William Shakespeare’s living room and even go and watch a show at the Globe theatre if you are interested in the real feel of 16th century London. Tired of the crowds? Fear not your new all-time favorite Borough has got you covered. Some of the prettiest (and most hidden) parks await you in walking distance of Moonraker. Right behind the building is Mint street park but my personal favorite is Southwark park, nestled behind Bermondsey tube station. It has a beautiful lake and stunning hundred-year-old oaks and you will have recovered from the hustle and bustle of zone 1 in no time. And what is for Dinner? One of Britain’s best cooks has one of his restaurants right up your street.
