Whenever I had time, I went out just to walk along the Tames, joining tourists. If you step out from London Bridge tube station, you have two choices to go, ether Borough Market or Tower Bridge. I liked both sides but I went west more often, where Southwark Cathedral, small paths having pub, restaurants and cafes alongside and the market on weekends were.
And I love seeing the view in the places where past and presence combined, which leads me to think future positively.
