Where to get lunch when you work near Bermondsey Street SE1

Oh thank god, it’s Work Lunch time, which means you’ve got half an hour, £7.50 left on your Monzo, and want food served within 5 minutes of ordering to takeaway, preferably in a box.

Everyone knows London Bridge and Bermondsey Street is absolutely banging for restaurants, but that’s not what you’re after for Work Lunch, is it?

So sit down Padella, take a seat Flat Iron. You’re not needed right now.

Here’s where you’ll actually end up going on your lunchbreak when you work near Bermondsey Street, SE1.

We’ve all been there: we’ve all risked it in rush hour, gone up to the top deck knowing the odds but giving it a go anyway, tilting our chin up, peering expectantly looking for a spare seat while also trying to discreetly check why it might be free. And there you are in front of everyone, head bobbing side to side, squinting down the bus. A pointless move at this time of day and everyone knows it, so you have to retreat quietly back down the stairs while, you imagine, the seated roll their eyes at the back of your head.
