This was such a cute shopping center in the city. Loved walking around to see all the holiday decorations and lovely businesses. We sat for a drink under the heaters just to take a little break from exploring and walking all day. It was lovely. read more

Stumbled across Hay's Galleria with a holiday market while visiting in December 2024 which led to one of my favorite pop-up adventures out there. This holiday market was so nice and definitely a bit more upscale and organized compared to others. My favorite park was the ski lodge bar that was smack dab in the center. They had a full bar and it felt like you were in a small ski town. It's fairly small where you could enjoy a complete walk within twenty to thirty minutes, but it was very aesthetically pleasing. Curious what it looks like outside the holiday season. read more

Long before it became a food and shopping destination, the Galleria was known as Hay's Wharf. Hay's Galleria is known today as an area for eating, drinking, working and shopping Past: Built in the 1850s, Hay's Wharf took deliveries from ships from all over the world, and the area became known as the 'Larder of London'. The great Hay's Wharf complex has been restored to its former glory and those who visit the Galleria today stand on the same spot where the tea clippers from India and China edged their way into the dock 150 years ago. The atrium reminds us of a large, old-fashioned train station but it houses a mixture of of corporate offices, restaurants, shops, and a pub. read more

I wish more places like this existed in America. It's like a beautifully decorated seating area with several food stands. There's WiFi available and I'm sure you'd be able to find WiFi. Service is quick, and vendors are friendly. You have a selection of alcoholic beverages, medical, desserts and salads/falafels. Average cost for food here is around 10-15 pounds depending on what you order. read more

This was a fun find. We were walking along the Thames river and came across this huge cute enclosed spacea. Shops, food, seating, statues, and a fountain. Plus a wonderful over head glass metal artistic roof allowing light while keeping it nicely enclosed. Seems to be in the middle of other nice places and a beautiful view out over the river. read more

History, meet modern age. What once was a Wharf, now is a Galleria. Great stop to rest, shop and grab lunch around London Bridge area. Especially if it's a rainy day (most of them are in London) - the galleria glass roof makes it perfect to escape the weather. Domed glass with open traces, offices on upper floors and shopping on ground level - Galleria is really a unique space. You cannot miss the main feature here - The Navigators - kinetic sculpture by David Kemp. Man, machine and a sea... Steam punk meet Gothic fantasy... Don Quixote and Pirates of the Caribbean... Once in every hour, sculpture comes to life with rotating wheels, moving oars, water showers out of flower-like jets... Totally sur. Loved it. Great shops, good food, amazing art. read more

Hay's Galleria is best approached while walking along the Thames Footpath of the south side of the Thames, between London Bridge and HMS Belfast. Built in the 1856 by William Cubitt (brother of Lewis Cubitt, the architect of King's Cross station), what is now the galleria was the enclosed dock of Hay's Wharf, which stretched from London Bridge to Tower Bridge. The wharf specialised in food generally, and the enclosed dock in tea: what you now see are the façades of the former bonded warehouses. The pedestrian circulating area was originally the dock, filled in as part of the refurbishment in 1987. For an earlier photo, see: http://www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/conMediaFile.5495/Tea-being-landed-from-barges-into-a-bonded-warehouse-at-Hays-Wharf.html The roof is also new, designed by the architects Twigg Brown and inspired (apparently) by the famous Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle in Milan. It is is 300ft long and 90ft high. The development includes over 300,000sq ft of office space, as well as apartments, and the shopping choice here is, to be honest, a bit limited. There are several cafes and restaurants, including a large Cafe Rouge, Starbucks, Next and Boots. Personally, I prefer it simply as a public space and place of interest, rather than a shopping experience. read more

This is such a stunning and pretty place. Right beside Tower bridge, it offers many cafes and small restaurants in a truly unique environment. The Galleria looks amazing, and it also has a nice monument in the centre representing a boat from which water spouts come out every now and then. Can't wait to be back during a sunny day, went there in the evening and seeing Tower bridge at night time was great. Now I want to see it when it's sunny! Anyway, great place for a coffee read more

The Hays Galleria is a great place to be, for all the reasons cited by the other reviewers. But what they fail to mention is that it also contains one of London's only (the only?) public Petanque court. During the summer in Lunchtimes, you can join in and play boules with your friends or join some of the tournaments that are held. I thought I had got pretty good until I visited Belgium and played with a local. The Galleria is also a good place eat if you are exploring the Southbank, with a wide range to choose from than anywhere else in the vicinity read more

Hays Galleria, historically, was the landing site for tea in London. Now, with more shops and less water, it is a rather lovely collection of shops and cafés. It looks beautiful, with (to my eye, a least) what looks like a Victorian iron and glass roof and a rather weird moving sculpture of a ship as a centrepiece. There is currently a Christmas tree and a few market-like stalls selling Christmassy gifts. For eating there's a Café Rouge, for presents a few boutique shops and for aspirins a Boots. Also Starbucks, Balls Brothers, Auberge, &c. There are occasional 'festivals' held here too (check out haysgalleria.co.uk). Standing at the closed end, you look towards the river between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. It really has a lovely atmosphere. read more

Good gallery where you can go close to the river. The side walk is beautiful and you can find lot of shops and restaurants there. The gallery is beautiful and specially the roof !! You should go on Tuesday and go to Borough market for the lunch. read more

This is such as beautiful place just off from London Bridge. It has a lovely view of The Thames and HMS Belfast. It's a lovely place to stop off and eat your lunch. It's picturesque morning and night. The shops are the standard high street with more food places than clothes places. There is also a 'pirate' ship in the middle which has a water feature that might be working when you are there. People drop money into the water of the ship and make wishes - you can too. read more

Oooh it's a strange little place, isn't it? It's not quite a shopping center, but it's not a courtyard either. it's just a bit weird. But, it's quite nice too. There's a pretty decent pub on the corner and if you're looking for somewhere nice to grab a coffee or sit and eat lunch you could do a lot worse. I'm not sure you'd ever purposely come here but if you're strolling by and want to have a sit down it does the trick. Especially if it's raining a little bit outside. read more

I stumbled across Hays Galleria whilst visiting HMS Belfast. It's a lovely little nook to go see, full of shops & restaurants. The filled in section of this former dock also has a few market stalls selling wares. It also has the weirdest looking sculpture you have ever seen. An ironwork ship! It wasn't working when I visited and the pool which it sits in had been drained and exposed all the pennys thrown in for good luck! Well worth exploring as part of a walk along the Thames path on the way to or from Tower Bridge/HMS Belfast read more

Hays Galleria is a great venue. As they say, location, location, location. It's right by Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, Borough Market and beyond. In itself, though, it's still a good place. There are numerous shops and restaurants within its walls (including a year round Christmas shop!) such as Next, Boots, Cafe Rouge, Starbucks, The Horniman etc. It's a nice place to duck and take cover if the rain comes in and also contains a rather nice shipping sculpture. Until this year, there has been an annual seafood festival hosted here, which has always been a great thing to attend and really brings the best out of the venue. It was cancelled in 2008, but hopefully they bring it back next year - it creates an excellent atmosphere and really fits the venue well. read more

Let's face it... there's not THAT much to do here (unless there's a food market, of course)! But the Galleria itself is so pretty it almost goes away with it! So make sure you take a (quick) look when you're in the neighbourhood! read more

This is a super place for visitors, for a number of reasons. Firstly,it is across the road from London Bridge so is within easy access to the mainline and tube stations. Secondly, it offers covered access to many shops and bars, and offers a superb view as it is located literally next to the river. The high roof and the space make it a great place to while away a short time when its wet in town. Try the pub by the river and then take a walk down to Tower Bridge from this location or try a coffee in many of the coffee shops in the area. Within minutes of HMS Belfast too! read more

You gotta love the year-round open Christmas shop at the Hays entrance at Tooley St. Brings sweet and warm memories. They have the cutest Christmas tree toys and Santa Claus figures. Recommend it even in the summer. read more

A very beautiful shopping location which can be easily reached from london bridge station. It has some lovley little shops and great bars. It is a beautiful place and in a fantatic location right near to HMS Belfast. It is not a centtral location for shopping but the the pubs and bars are ideally situated for a lunch or evening drink. The Horni Man pub is a great place to grab a drink as it has outside seating right on the Thames so you can view all the water activities and enjoy the London city surroundings with a cool beverage. read more
