Local Area

Between London Bridge and Borough Market, Bermondsey is tucked among some of London’s most famous tourist destinations. Despite its zone 2 location and its proximity to these world-renowned landmarks, the area retains a community atmosphere. 

Not only does its central location make it perfect for people working in town but it has become a mecca for foodies and culture seekers. The patch around Maltby Street’s railway arches, now known as Rope Walk, offers street food, innovative dining and cafe culture, while the White Cube gallery and the Fashion and Textile Museum add to the area’s attractions. The area has a unique charm, and the neighbourhood appeals to a younger, creative crowd. 

Ecole will be well connected, with Bermondsey station on the Jubilee line providing good links to Westminster, Bond Street and Canary Wharf; Overground trains from South Bermondsey station take just eight minutes into London Bridge and also serve the Beckenham Junction and West Croydon routes. There's a largely traffic free route thanks to the South Bermondsey walking and cycling network.  Whilst, for a complete change of scene, London City Airport is only half an hour away by public transport.

But for many part of the joy of living here is the morning walk over either London Bridge or Tower Bridge.
