Areas of interest A five minute walk to the River Thames, Lucy Brown is within walking distance of Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral and the City of London, and a short trip to the Southbank, New Tate Gallery and Globe Theatre.

The Lucy Brown sheltered scheme is located just around the corner from Borough High Street, with its bustling market, shops and pubs. The scheme’s busy social agenda reflects the liveliness of life outside the scheme’s doors.

The heart of the scheme is its large communal lounge where residents gather for activities, or simply to sit and talk. The lounge looks out upon a spacious courtyard garden with a fountain.

Borough itself divides historic Southwark in two. Borough High Street was originally the Roman road Watling Street and in the medieval period was the site of famous Inns. Borough is now a thriving cosmopolitan area of London, with many restaurants, bars and, of course, the world famous Borough Market.
