What's on in Southwark

Southwark sits on the south bank of the Thames and has been a proper stage for local talent since the days of the Globe. The Africa Centre puts on talks that make you think without trying too hard, while The Bridge keeps the music scene ticking over with gigs that feel like a proper night out. It is not often you find a spot where history and noise mix so neatly. Pub quizzes drift down to the riverside and art exhibitions pop up near the old warehouses. We pull all these bits together so you do not have to waste time hunting for them on your own. Just take a walk, pick what sounds best, and let the evening decide itself.
