Things to Do in Bermondsey on Wednesdays

Bermondsey isn’t just a weekend destination. If you’re looking for things to do in Bermondsey on a Wednesday, this vibrant SE1 neighbourhood has plenty going on — from craft beer and food markets to lively midweek events.

Whether you’re local to South London or visiting from elsewhere in the city, Wednesday night in Bermondsey can be surprisingly eventful — especially if you know where to look.

Here’s how to make the most of it.

1. Join Buzzing Bingo at Hiver Taproom

2. Explore the Bermondsey Beer Mile

Wednesday is a great time to explore the Bermondsey Beer Mile without the heavy weekend crowds.

Stretching along railway arches between London Bridge and Bermondsey stations, the Beer Mile is home to independent breweries, taprooms and bottle shops. Many open midweek, offering a more relaxed atmosphere to sample craft beers and discover local producers.

Start your evening with a drink and finish at Buzzing Bingo — or vice versa.

3. Grab Dinner Near Maltby Street

While Maltby Street Market is best known for weekends, the surrounding Bermondsey area has plenty of midweek dining options.

From independent restaurants to street food traders and cosy neighbourhood spots, Wednesday is often easier to book and far less crowded than Friday or Saturday.

A popular approach?
Dinner nearby, then bingo and drinks at Hiver Taproom. Or order a takeaway and enjoy in our Taproom whilst you bingo!

4. Plan a Midweek Social Instead of Waiting for Friday

One of the best things about Wednesdays in Bermondsey is that you don’t need to wait for the weekend to enjoy yourself.

Midweek events tend to feel:

• More local

• More relaxed

• Less crowded

• More spontaneous

Buzzing Bingo has quickly become a favourite weekly fixture because it offers something different from the typical pub night — games, music and a bit of friendly competition in a welcoming space.

If you live in SE1, Southwark or London Bridge, it’s an easy midweek plan that doesn’t require travelling across the city.
