Best Restaurants Near Bermondsey Street

Bermondsey Street isn't exactly short on culinary hot spots, but long before the avenue became a certified foodie magnet, there was The Garrison. A neighbourhood institution since 2003, this charming, green-tiled spot manages to feel like both a well-kept neighbourhood secret and a lively, essential London destination. 

The menu is an elegant reminder of how incredible homegrown ingredients can be when left in expert hands. Start your crawl down the street with a plate of Isle of Wight tomatoes with whipped feta and olive crumb, or skip straight to the main event: a perfectly balanced Welsh lamb cannon served alongside a rich lamb faggot and Jerusalem artichoke.
