Arrive at White Cube Bermondsey before it opens. The building is striking in the early morning light, and you will likely have the entrance area to yourself before the 10:00 AM opening.

Walk to The Garrison for breakfast. It opens at 08:00, just an easy two-minute walk from the gallery. Get coffee and a bite to eat while the city wakes up.

Stroll to Borough Market. By 09:00 the market is active. Wander the stalls, pick up a local treat or coffee to go, and soak in the wholesale market atmosphere.
Local tip
The Garrison is very close to the gallery, making it the perfect first stop after your sunrise viewing. Borough Market is a short walk further and offers plenty of options to keep you going.
