The south end is near the Tate Modern, the Clink Prison Museum, the Globe Theatre, and the Financial Times and Ofcom buildings. Below the Southwark Bridge on the south side are some old steps, which were once used by Thames watermen as a place to moor their boats and wait for customers.

Southwark Bridge appears in many films, including Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007). The cream painted houses on the south side of the Southwark Bridge , Anchor Terrace, just after the FT building, were used for the exterior shots of the shared house in This Life.
