Bermondsey Beer Mile
This is our Guide to London's famous Bermondsey Beer Mile. Opening hours continue to expand — a welcome trend that gives more options for visiting. This will also hopefully ease pressure on the various tap rooms, many of which can get exceptionally busy on a Saturday afternoon (previously this was the only day on which you could visit most places).
With wider opening hours and more opportunities to visit, there's much less need to try to do all the venues in one day. In any case, with so many places on the mile, it's best to take your time. We now recommend splitting the mile into three more manageable sections: Druid Street & around; Enid Street & around, and the southern section.
These are the venues in the Druid Street & around section, listed in the order you'll find them if starting from London Bridge station:
-
Southwark Brewing Co: http://beerguideldn.com/pubs.180
-
Barrel Project (London Beer Factory): http://beerguideldn.com/pubs.285
-
Billy Franks Craft Beer & Snack Shack: https://www.beerguideldn.com/pubs.470
-
Anspach & Hobday: https://www.beerguideldn.com/pubs.150
And these are the venues in the Enid Street & around section. It should be noted that it only takes a couple of minutes to walk from Anspach & Hobday to Moor Vaults, so you can easily visit some from each section on the same day:
