Once London's most notorious red light district and often jokingly described as Shakespeare's playground, this area is now full of trendy cafes and a food market visited by millions each year.
On offer are London's oldest Elizabethan coaching inn, a stunning cathedral, a ship that sailed the world, a lost theatre (now remodelled in a different location) , a prison and a power station that's no longer a power station.
Not enough for ya?
Well there's also some stories of pubs, poets and prostitues.
