The Bermondsey Beer Mile is fast becoming a London institution. Running along the old Victorian railway arches between Tower Bridge and Bermondsey are a series of micro breweries that have an exciting mixture of brews to while away an afternoon among the neighbourhood's hipsters. But make sure you only have one drink in each venue or you won't last to the end!
