The area south of the thames, from county hall to southwark, further east, is an historic part of london. The first bridge across the thames was built by the romans near london bridge, and the community around it developed as an alternative to the city, as it lay beyond the city's jurisdiction. In shakespears day this was a place for showing unlicensed plays and setting up brothels, and it retained its reputation as an area of vice well into the 19th century. In the late 20th century the area was transformed into a vibrant cultural centre; warehouses were transformed and converted into expensive flats, and the underground's jubilee line extension transformed access here, Highlights now include the London Eye, South Bank Centre, Tate Modern, and Shakespears Globe.

The network of medieval alleys and back streets is still evident, but today's tall buildings hum with banks of computers processing international finance. Teeming with life on weekdays, the city is virtually deserted at weekends.
