I've eaten here a couple of times, it's good although can get quite noisy.

Tas Pide is decent value and pretty damn tasty. Opposite the Globe Theatre.

I’m a big fan of the Wasabi by the station but it’s probably not what you’re after.

Turkish Tas on Borough High st is good.

^^^ this in bucket loads. In and around that area is great. Especially the Borough High St side.
Our preferred place is Pizzaro on Bermondsey St.
There’s Hay’s Arcade almost opposite on Tooley St that might be worth a tootle around. And Borough Market probably has plenty of options in and around.

One thing Mrs Numbers and I do up there is a left or right first or second sesh/crawl.
We plot in one of the pubs and have a drink. We then flip a coin to see if we’ll take a left or right when we leave the pub and flip a coin to see if we’ll go into the first or second pub. One drink in each pub.
Great fun.

Champor Champor in Weston Street is a really nice Thai/Malay restaurant. Been there several times.

As ever, it depends on what you want to spend, and whether you’re doing lunch or dinner. A couple of dozen street food options in Borough Market (remember it's closed on Mondays) and Roast is still ok if you don’t mind hauling your bags up a couple of flights of stairs. Old favourites around there are La Barca, on Lower Marsh, which is a very solid, well established Italian gaff; and The Duke of Sussex, on the other side of the green does very good pub grub. Both of those are more Waterloo though, so a 10 minute walk from London Bridge. The DoS is also worth a visit just to laugh at their pub sign of Harry and Meghan, if it's still there:
Closer to LB, you've got The Barrowboy and Banker, which is a decent Fullers pub with a by-the-numbers menu at the foot of the bridge itself, so it's easy to find and a good meeting point. Coté sometimes gets a bad rap because it's a chain but I often take visitors to the one in Hays Galleria, after a South Bank walk. Nice little spot right on the river with regulation French favourites. Have the fish stew or the steak. For a proper treat, book a table overlooking the river at the Oxo Tower restaurant, but there are scores of pubs and eateries within half a mile of LB station, so you could just have a wander round and see what takes your fancy. Don't go to Silka; Indian gaff in Borough Market. Rip-off wankers.

Thanks we’re not after pub grub or chains and I’ve already checked Roast and it’s closed for refurb. We are very familiar with the area used to spend most weekends doing Waterloo to a borough Market south bank walk with young child but not aware of anywhere really good to eat in.
Been to the OXO tower years ago and thought it was overpriced and over rated.
I forgot about La Barca which is a good option - really good food when we have been before and reasonable but as you say more Waterloo.

As opposed to Tower Bridge!
At Tower Bridge you have the nicer bit of the riverside. But it's a nice stroll between the two bridges along the river.

Definitely great views across the river to The City and the ToL/Tower Bridge, but not many (any?) restaurants; and of course, City Hall is there so you run the risk of bumping into Sadiq Can't.
There’s some at St Katherine's Dock which is down some steps from Tower Bridge.

Banker Central though. If you're going to go that far you might as well go up to Commercial Road, and take your pick of the Bangladeshi greasy spoons.
I was going to say 'there's also that splendid medieval banquet place!' but Google suggests it's permanently shut.
(Yes, yes I did have a terrible terrible work Christmas party there. Drinking extremely heavily was literally the only way to get through it. At least my Spanish boss forked out for decent wine as he reckoned the stuff provided with the Christmas party deal was undrinkable.)
Commercial Road is quite a bit further.

Didn’t know that was there. Shame to have missed it. Looks fun.

back on the other side
my suggestion is to buy some cans - you can get 3x G&T deals at the London Bridge M&S - and have some drinks next to the London Bridge Pier Clipper station. Theres a little bar there that has a DJ playing music outside - its nice and mellow. You can sit at the bars own tables and buy a drink from them, or sit in the public seating bit and still be right next to the music and enjoy perfect river scene/sunset etc
the bar is new and i cant find a name or picture of it but made this:
this is one of those 360 views of the spot
