Just under a 15-minute walk away, Hawkes is another innovative addition to the city as London's first ever cidery. The warehouse-style space can be found along the Bermondsey Beer Mile and has an impressive range of goings-on, including a cider school and the chance to create your own Basque apple-infused tipple.
For British dining in a quintessential London boozer, Bunch of Grapes on St Thomas Street is an excellent place to start.
