Bermondsey Beer Mile: Breweries & Taprooms

Curated byMartina Zrnec17 cardsUpdated Oct 2026
Self-guided walk of London's Bermondsey Beer Mile: every brewery, taproom and cidery in route order, with official sites and a map. HOW TO DO IT: Start at London Bridge station and walk 10 minutes to Maltby Street Market for food. Follow Druid Street, then Enid Street, under the railway arches heading south-east, ending at Small Beer on Verney Road (South Bermondsey station is close by). Go on a Saturday: most taprooms open around 11am to noon and the full Mile is busiest 11am to 5pm. Many venues are closed Mon-Tue, so check each card's hours. Pace yourself with halves or thirds, eat at the market or taproom kitchens, and drink water. Bring a card (most are cashless). Allow 4 to 6 hours for the full route; skip stops freely.
