G&M's Top Tips for PCO Driving in Southwark
London Bridge station is Southwark's most important PCO staging point and one of the busiest railway stations in the UK, handling tens of millions of passengers annually. At morning and evening peak times, the station disgorges waves of City workers who crossed London Bridge on foot from the station to their offices — and at the end of the day, many of them take Uber back rather than queue at the station. The area immediately around London Bridge and Borough — including the Shard, More London, Hays Galleria and the dense office buildings running south from London Bridge — is one of the most concentrated corporate and financial commuter zones on the south side of the river. The Shangri-La hotel inside The Shard, and the various rooftop bars and restaurants in the building, generate consistent premium passenger demand throughout the day and evening. For drivers with a BMW i4 or Audi A6 eligible for Uber Executive, the London Bridge and More London corporate cluster is among the most productive spots for executive-tier pickups south of the river.
Borough Market is one of the most-visited food markets in the world, drawing over 10 million visitors annually to the area around Borough High Street and Stoney Street. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday — when the market is at full operation — the surrounding streets see enormous tourist and visitor footfall that flows into Uber demand throughout the morning and afternoon. Bermondsey, immediately east of Borough, has built its own distinct identity around the Bermondsey Beer Mile — the cluster of independent craft breweries along Druid Street and Bermondsey Street that draw visitors from across London on Saturday afternoons in particular — and the Maltby Street Market, which generates significant weekend footfall from a food-focused, urban-professional demographic that reliably uses Uber. Bermondsey also has significant luxury residential development, including in the converted warehouses along the Bermondsey riverfront, providing consistent account and private hire demand from affluent residents.
Peckham is Southwark's most dynamic late-night PCO zone and one that has changed the most rapidly over the past decade. Peckham Levels — the multi-storey car park turned arts and food space — and the surrounding bars and restaurants on Rye Lane, Bellenden Road and the Bussey Building have created one of the most concentrated creative-class nightlife patches in South London. Friday and Saturday evenings in Peckham produce surge demand that now rivals parts of Shoreditch, with the added dimension that Peckham Rye is an Overground-only station — no tube — making Uber particularly essential for the late-night journey home. Guy's Hospital at London Bridge, one of the UK's leading NHS teaching hospitals, provides 24/7 transfer demand around the clock. The Elizabeth line at Canada Water connects Southwark drivers to Heathrow in under 40 minutes, opening up airport runs that previously were not economically viable from this part of South London. All G&M vehicles are ULEZ compliant and our electric fleet is exempt from the Congestion Charge for trips north over London Bridge or Southwark Bridge into the City.

Things to Do in Southwark
Southwark is one of London's most historically rich and culturally layered boroughs, and its attractions map almost directly onto what a PCO driver will encounter across a working week. London Bridge — one of the oldest crossings in the city and now one of the busiest rail termini in the UK — is the borough's central artery, pulling commuters, tourists and office workers through the area at every hour. Borough Market, in the shadow of Southwark Cathedral beside the bridge, is one of the most visited food markets in the world, drawing over 10 million people annually across its full-market Thursday, Friday and Saturday operation and its partial-market days on Monday through Wednesday. The Shard — at 309 metres the UK's tallest building — contains the Shangri-La Hotel (one of London's most premium hotel rooms), the Aqua Shard restaurant, Oblix, and the View from The Shard observation deck, all generating consistent high-value passenger demand including hotel transfers, business meeting pickups and tourist runs. Tate Modern on Bankside — the world's most-visited modern art gallery — draws millions of visitors annually to the riverside area between Blackfriars and London Bridge, contributing to the dense tourist transfer demand in SE1. The Globe Theatre on Bankside generates post-show evening demand for every performance throughout its spring and summer season. Bermondsey, stretching east from Borough, has developed a strong food and craft beer identity centred on the Bermondsey Beer Mile — a cluster of independent craft breweries open on Saturdays along Druid Street and the surrounding railway arches — and Maltby Street Market, a smaller, more curated weekend market drawing a food-obsessed urban demographic. Peckham's transformation over the past decade has been one of South London's most dramatic: Peckham Levels, housed in a former multi-storey car park on Frank's Lane, is now a major arts and food venue, while Rye Lane, the Bussey Building's CLF Art Cafe and the dense concentration of bars around Bellenden Road have made Peckham one of the most consistently active late-night PCO patches in South East London from Thursday through Saturday. Guy's Hospital at London Bridge is one of the UK's flagship NHS teaching hospitals, home to one of Europe's leading cancer centres and providing 24/7 transfer demand of every kind. And Canada Water — undergoing one of London's most significant regeneration projects — sits at a junction of Elizabeth line, Jubilee line and Overground services, connecting Southwark drivers to Heathrow in under 40 minutes for competitive airport runs.
