Simplicity is a small, intimate restaurant situated in the centre of Rotherhithe Village. Opposite Sands Film studios and the Brunel Museum. Yards from historic St Marychurch, the Time & Talents charity and the London Bubble theatre company. Directly behind Rotherhithe tube station. Our menu is small and all the dishes are cooked to order using the finest ingredients possible. We truly care about our guest’s experience and feel it’s time we raised our profile. The Bermondsey Street Festival provides the perfect opportunity to tell the wider community where we are and what we do which is why we have decided to become a major sponsor and supporter of the event.
