Southwark is home to a dynamic and diverse business community, with small and micro enterprises at its heart.
From the financial anchors around London Bridge and Bermondsey, to creative clusters in Peckham and Camberwell, and innovative ventures in Elephant & Castle, the borough offers a thriving environment for enterprise. Its celebrated food scene, led by Borough Market, and international eateries across the borough, sits alongside world-class institutions such as Tate Modern and Shakespear’s Globe.
Combined with strong community networks and dedicated programmes of support, Southwark provides an exceptional landscape for entrepreneurs to start, grow and succeed.
