   • Tower Bridge. Think of a sight that defines London, and this combined bascule and suspension bridge may spring to mind. Tower Bridge (1894) is in a decorative neo-Gothic style, and today forms a neat river-spanning ensemble, with the Tower of London on the north bank and Norman Foster’s City Hall (2002) to the south.
   • Tate Modern. Opened at the former Bankside Power Station in 2000, the Tate Modern is one of the world’s largest museums for modern and contemporary art.
   • Shakespeare’s Globe. In 1997 this close replica of the open-air Globe Theatre opened on Bankside, close to where the original used to stand. The first Globe was established by William Shakespeare’s playing company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men in 1599, to be destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt and eventually closed by the Puritans in 1642.
   • Borough Market. London’s favourite permanent food market has been trading at this location since the 13th century at the latest, and is housed under a beautiful metal and glass structure from the 1850s and 60s.
