The road has an abundance of antique (or junk) shops along part of its length. There is also Bermondsey Square which holds an 'Antique' Market every Friday morning, usually known as Bermondsey Market, though officially as New Caledonian Market.
Towards its southern end are a collection of shops, pubs and takeaways, which give it an almost village feel in that there are few large corporate chains, but instead a bakery, flower shop, hardware store and other shops.
If you move a few hundred metres north the scenery changes beyond all recognition. From here there are good views of the City of London (or 'City'), and other landmarks such as Tower of London, London Bridge and the HMS Belfast.
A traditional fixed bridge could not be built because it would cut off access to the port facilities situated at that time in the Pool of London, between LondonBridge and the Tower of London.
The bridge was opened on 30 June 1894 by the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, and his wife, Alexandra of Denmark.
The bridge is near the Tower of London, St Katharine Docks, and Shad Thames.
TowerBridgeRoad is a road in Bermondsey in the London Borough of Southwark, UK, that runs north to south, and connects the Bricklayers Arms roundabout and flyover at its southern end (New Kent Road and Old Kent Road) to TowerBridge and across the River Thames at its northern.
From here there are good views of the City of London (or 'City'), and other landmarks such as Tower of London, LondonBridge and the HMS Belfast.
The road is the A100 (with TowerBridge itself), and forms part of the London Inner Ring Road; as such it is part of the boundary of the congestion charging zone.
