Welcome to The Borough

The Borough is a historic district located in the heart of Greater London. It is known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse community. The area is home to several iconic landmarks, including the famous Borough Market, which is one of the oldest and largest food markets in London. The market attracts visitors from all over the world who come to sample the delicious food and soak up the vibrant atmosphere.

The Borough is also home to several historic buildings, such as the Southwark Cathedral, which dates back to the 12th century.

The theatre is a must-visit for anyone interested in theatre and history.

In addition to its cultural attractions, The Borough is also a thriving business district. It is home to several major companies, including Ernst & Young and PwC.
