Bermondsey Street is hardly short of places to eat. Here you can get great Pizza.
The proprietors are long-time local artisan bakers from Italian decent, whose ovens are housed right across the road. Naturally, the bakery supplies Via Bermondsey with fresh bread and pastry, and the seriously good dough for their seriously proper pizzas, made according to time-honoured tradition the Neapolitan way. Many will dine here simply for the classic pizza, emerging from the oven with the charred, puffy crust that is the mark of the real Neapolitan pie. However, Via Bermondsey is more distinctly a continental European-influenced eatery with a wide ranging quality offering chalked up on the menu.

A secluded gem of a Garden inside the ruins of a Church
The Church of St Dunstan was originally built around 1100 and is a Grade I listed building. A new south aisle was added in 1391 and was repaired in 1631. It was severely damaged in 1666 by the Great Fire of London. Rather than being completely built it was patched up. A steeple and tower was added in 1695-1701 by Sir Christopher Wren.
The Church was again severely damaged in the Blitz of 1941. Wren's tower and steeple survived the bombing. During the re-organisation of the Anglican Church after World war II it was decided not to rebuild St Dunstan’s.
