An Elegant & vibrant place to visit full of restaurants and cafes. I love the atmosphere here and always happy to come back! Highly recommended for locals and tourists too.

High ceilings, brick, glass and metal. An engineering delight. Great place to people watch and relax away from the bustle of London Bridge

Ideally situated outside London Bridge Station by the riverbank side. With coffee shops, pop up stalls and retail shops. Nice place to sit down with friends and catching up. Spectacular views at night especially this Christmas season. Highly recommended to visit.

We were just passed by this building when we were going to Tower Bridge. Nice deco. There are a lot of eatery restaurants here.

Surprisingly convenient area with some shops and a variety of restaurants and bars inside and a stone throw along the river front.

Hay's Galleria is a beautiful spot at walking distance from the tower bridge. There's plenty of restaurants to pick from surrounded by beautiful lights. The decorations are really nice and are worth a visit while you are in the area. There's a couple food trucks in the outside as well which could be useful for a quick snack if you are hungry.

Stopped by during lunch time walk, had a nice Alpine Lodge set up serving Bailey's Hot Chocolate.... Who can resist especially with the views from here.... They need to make it a permanent fixture here! YUM

We visit here every year during winter to see their Christmas decorations and lighting. And we love their Christmas tree which gives us a very joyful and colourful holiday season vibe.

Nice place to visit. Indoors yet feel the outdoors. At the door step of Tower Bridge and London Bridge. Beautiful lighting during the night, feel a tad romantic. Great place

A very elegant & vibrant spot to visit it has a plenty of restaurants and shops to check. The ambiance is really chill a bit crowded but it’s also fun to walk around in. I would definitely recommend it for tourists and locals.

Walking along the Thames for a while, this is a nice place to take a rest in. It is spacious, cozy and not crowded at all. There’re also few restaurants inside the galleria, so you can have something to eat and drink.

The Navigators by David Kemp, a wonderful moving work of art that few tourists know about. We found a pirate ship that paddles automatically in the galleria at a key point in the Thames harbor! It was an unforgettable place to visit.

Wow lovely place so nice to see all the little cafes and restaurants tuck away really lovely place

Nice place to be. Interesting art objects. Nice view to London Financial District.

We stumbled across this place one evening whilst walking up the South Bank. Even in October, there was a wonderful festive feel that drew us in. Ordering drinks was different. Sit at a table, scan the QR code, choose from the menu that appears on your phone and pay via your phone. The staff then bring your order to your table. No queuing - brilliant!

Great place to visit. Some fantastic food outlets. Little independent coffee/cafe outlets. Clean, bright and pleasant. Good place to refuel and rest.

Delicious food and reasonable price on the thames! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice view too.

Great to see this historic wharf restored and repurposed so tastefully.

Thank you so much to the security guard who helped me and my son when there were no disabled toilets avaliable today. So polite and kind 😌 Good selection of shops and restaurants too

An almost hidden galleria opposite London bridge station, more than just a cut through to get to visit HMS Belfast, it is worth a visit in it's own right, the bronze steam punk water powered ship is always a delight to see, the galleria has many good places to eat and drink, I of course head to one of my favourite Costa coffee shops, always a warm welcome from the manager who will stop and chat and make it more than just another coffee shop, once rested you can marvel at the magnificent HMS Belfast, if you get in the right position you can get a photo of the ship with a backdrop of either the tower of London or tower bridge, follow the embankment east, past the London assembly building, the gherkin shaped building and onto shad Thames, a little known place in the shadow of tower bridge, if you retrace your steps, you pass back through Hays galleria and turn left and visit borough market and Pass through to the embankment on that side, there beholds a replica of the golden hind, the globe theatre and the Tate modern gallery, cross the millennium bridge and you can visit Saint Paul's cathedral.and head up to the museum of London.

Beautiful area to visit and enjoy, weather permitting, a scroll at the promenade, all the way to Tower bridge and across. Plenty of nice venues for food or coffee,

Take river walk to this marvelous spot with trendy restaurants. Taste local cuisine from food stalls lining the way!

Love this place. Great place to hang out and have a drink with friends.

Hays On The River is a wonderful venue. The staff member Becks is a great member of staff and an amazing young person. She goes beyond to help out if she can. {She definitely did for us!} The decorations are so uplifting, keeping spirits up whatever the weather! I'll be back!

Very impressive, huge central court on the ground floor, with a beautiful modern sculpture of an air ship in a water fountain. Several restaurants and food stands surround the central area, including Costa coffee. While the service there was fine and the hot chocolate was delicious, the one restroom available for customers, and maybe staff?? was absolutely filthy. The location of the Galleria is outstanding, very close to the enormous London Bridge station, several famous landmarks and is at this time surrounded by Gillie and Marc animal sculptures.

This beautiful arcade currently boasts a pop-up cocktail bar serving a variety of craft beers, wines, spirits, and cocktails, which are situated amongst the various shops. This has always been a popular location 2 minutes from London Bridge Station and situated on the South Bank opposite HMS Belfast. A must visit spot to take in the sights

A charming spot where retail meets history. With an architectural design that retains its old-world charm while housing an array of modern shops, it's an iconic location that's worth a visit. The beautiful glass roof adds to the sense of grandness, and the assortment of eateries satiate all tastebuds. Also, the fascinating kinetic sculpture adds a magical touch. However, it can get quite busy during peak hours.

Really nice area to come and chill, With some great views of the city

Love the vibe here. The coffee shops around it and the pub in the middle which decorates to the season. Great Boots too. Very central and at Christmas they have a market and beautiful decorations.

Nice place! When I was there the First time, there have been more Shops. Instagram: melly.teapot

Hays Galleria is a historic building located in the London Bridge area of London, England. It was originally a warehouse and wharf, built in the 1850s by the merchant Alexander Hay. The building was used to store and transport goods such as tea, coffee, and spices from all over the world. During its early years, Hays Galleria played a crucial role in the bustling trade industry of London. The warehouse was connected to the Thames River, allowing ships to unload their cargo directly into the building. The goods were then transported through the galleria using a system of hoists and cranes. In the late 20th century, the warehouse fell into disuse and was left abandoned. However, in the 1980s, it was redeveloped into a mixed-use complex. The original structure was preserved, and the galleria was transformed into a covered shopping arcade with various shops, restaurants, and offices. At Christmas, Hays Galleria becomes a festive destination. The galleria is beautifully decorated with lights, Christmas trees, and festive ornaments, creating a magical atmosphere for visitors. There are often Christmas markets held within the arcade, offering a variety of unique gifts, crafts, and delicious food and drinks. Additionally, Hays Galleria hosts various seasonal events and activities during the Christmas period. These may include live music performances, carol singing, and even visits from Santa Claus himself. The galleria becomes a popular spot for both locals and tourists to enjoy the holiday spirit and participate in festive celebrations. Overall, Hays Galleria’s brief history showcases its transformation from a bustling trade hub to a vibrant shopping arcade. During Christmas, it becomes a charming destination to experience the joy and merriment of the holiday season. @hays.galleria #christmas #places #london #haysgalleria

You can't miss it! It great for tourists, great for coffee after hospital appointment or with friends after work.

Great place to stop for a bite to eat or a cup of coffee and more. Feels roomy inside and wasn't busy when we visited late morning.

There was a 'Summer River' event held for a period when we visited yesterday with food/drink pop-ups which made the area lively. I'd imagine this would be very crowded if not for the pandemic. The covered bar area in the middle made for a perfect break from a walk along the river.

Great place with a good variety of shops, cafés, bars and food. Lovely atmosphere 👌🏼 😍

Fabulous place, gives holiday vibes, service is great and friendly, atmosphere is superb walk of from Tower Bridge lots to see and experience.

I love this place. It forms a part of our usual walks along the Thames path. We like to buy something to drink from Costa, and relax for a bit. The kids love running around the iron ship artwork installed in the middle. We use the boots branch here to click and collect necessities.

Great place to shelter from the rain or sun with lots of cafes under a cathedral-like roof. Interesting mechanical arty ship. Visit Cinq Sandwiches for refreshments!

This used to be a pretty lively place which all the shops but most of the units are just empty with some shops and restaurants having closed down.

A beautiful building 2mins from London bridge tube and a lovely cut-through to HMS Belfast!

A lovely little area with some shops and a street food area. In the centre is a rather impressive statue type thing.

Wonderfully covered galleria with small shops and a couple of spots to get a drink or something to eat. The walkway covering is architecturally interesting and there are also some interesting sculptures within the mail thoroughfare.

Drinks at the autumnal pop-up Hay's On The River bar. No queue, self-seated as we weren't assigned a table. The decor was beautiful and there were overhead patio heaters too.

Situated on the South Bank of the River Thames, once a wharf for unloading food, it has been covered to house shops, food outlets and restaurants with lovely outside seating areas. It's nice to see mini replica of the pirate ship here. Interesting.

A nice gallery just in front of the London bridge railway station. Has stores and bars. Also serve as short cuts to the city and tower bridge.

As we arrived in Côte, we were entertained by our view over the Thames in the middle of a thunderstorm from our upstairs room. We're a fair sized group of retirees, seated at an upstairs large table, served speedily and efficiently by a very patient and polite waiter. There was a great selection from which to choose, we were spoilt for choice. Good old fashioned 'fish pie' for me, with prawns, haddock and salmon in a creamy cheesy potato topping. Around £14, well worth it. None of us could refuse a simple strawberry Pavlova with crème fraîche, irresistible. We pored over the calories given for every dish, apart from the prix fixé menu, for some unknown reason ! On this list the two courses cost £16.95, three are £20.95, only cards are accepted for payment, with a 10% gratuity added to the bill. I asked our waiter if they receive this money.He assured me that they do, and thanked me for asking. There was a fuss free method of ordering our meals, all done from his hand held i-pad.

A covered walkway just beside river Thames. Tea clippers arrived here in the olden days according to the history. Lovely place to do shopping or for a bite.

Lovely galleria at London Bridge hidden away from the bustle of the station. I go there as a place to meet friends after work. It has saved my life a couple of times when my train has been delayed and I've need a place with good WiFi to make a work call.

You can order food and drinks from your bench and the different food places in the galleria bring the food to you. Alternatively you could go and buy your drinks from the bar. Great place if you’re in a group as it can host a large group easily on one bench . You’re also away from wind and rain.

Hay's Galleria is a little oasis of calm and peace just off the river. The summer seating and floral arrangement makes it a treat to watch the river and life flow past whilst enjoying the cooling breeze rising from the river. P.S. Please do be mindful of your belongings even as you relax as thieves operate in the area.

The vibe at Christmas time is prodigious. With pubs, cafe, dessert places all hustling and bustling with eats, drinks, music and a merry time…. Really enjoyed the evening here after a walk from the London Bridge towards the Millennium Bridge - this spot was a great break in that walk.

Feels very grand when you walk in. Few places to sit and have a drink or some food. There is an interesting looking ship in the middle but didnt see any sign to say what it is about? Great views of the Thames outside and located right opposite London Bridge Station.

I came here with my friends and we had a walk about. Very cute and quirky place with some nice cafes and places to eat and sit. Great building and nice vibes. Lovely to stand and look out over the water at the scenery and the boats
