It seems strange now but, prior to our twin trips in recent years to South Africa, we didn't particularly have any strong opinions about, or impressions of,…

Bermondsey is in the borough of Southwark in South-East London. It sits just south of the financial area and a little bit further along from Wapping. It is…
