Worth getting off for

Walk up Borough High Street, detouring into the George Inn courtyard before reaching Borough Market.

Look for the little churchyard garden beside St George the Martyr, close to the station.

Great Suffolk Street offers alternatives to eating in the busiest market lanes.

The George Inn makes sense as a stop on the walk north.

Station → St George the Martyr → George Inn → Borough Market → Southwark Cathedral exterior. Allow 60–90 minutes before lunch.

The small streets, church exterior and coaching courtyard can form a free outing.

Keep the walk north short and turn lunch into the main activity; the market gets crowded.

Borough High Street was an important approach to London Bridge, lined with inns serving travellers.
