Underneath the arches This Christmas my wife bought her sister-in-law a hamper which contained a number of items of food entirely made in Bermondsey.

Things have come full circle. Fifty years ago Bermondsey was famed for all its food factories. Today they're coming back, but this time, they're under the railway arches.

The growing number of specialist food outlets in Bermondsey featured on BBC1's Inside Out tonight.

You can see the programme on iPlayer here.

Go to 19.34 to see item on Bermondsey which particularly focusses on the Kappacasein cheese factory and includes a  glimpse of St James's Church in the background.
