Description:

The three main road links to Rotherhithe are Jamaica Road (A200)going west to Bermondsey and Tower Bridge, Lower Road (A200)going south to Deptford and Greenwich and, in theory, theRotherhithe Tunnel going north under the River Thames toLimehouse - the tunnel will face further pressure when newrestrictions are introduced on driving in central London.Rotherhithe New Road goes to the Old Kent Road and Peckham.The main road round the peninsula is a combination of BrunelRoad, Salter Road and Redriff Road, with Rotherhithe Streetrunning parallel to these. The southern end of Lower Road is partof a confusing one-way system. By Underground, the East London Line runs from Whitechapel (withconnections to the District and Hammersmith and City lines) andShoreditch to New Cross and New Cross Gate (with British Railconnections), with a long historyfor such a small part of the network The local stops areRotherhithe, Canada Water (opened in 1999 and with lifts for thedisabled), and Surrey Quays. It may be extended Northand South. The Jubilee Line extension from Stanmore andCentral London to Stratford, via Canary Wharf and the MillenniumDome at North Greenwich, opened in 1999, with stations at CanadaWater and Bermondsey (also with a lift). There are numerous London Busesrunning to or through Rotherhithe, including the C10 and 381which go round the peninsula, the 47 and 188 and P12which go through Lower Road, and the 1 , 199 and 225which start at Canada Water Underground Station. The N1, N47 and N381run at night (the N381 goes round the peninsula). Rotherhithe and the Docks have the highest density of cyclelanes in the borough, with notable routes including RotherhitheStreet, the Albion Channel, the ecological park and Russia Dockwoodland, and Greenland Dock. A detailed map is published bySouthwark Council with the LondonCycling Campaign and SouthwarkCyclists, while a rough map ishere. The nearest railway stations are some distance away, includingLondon Bridge with connections to the rest of London and theSouth of England and the less convenient South Bermondsey. The nearest airport is London City; go toCanning Town by Underground and then take a bus - or soon the DLR.Heathrowis on the Underground, while Gatwickand Luton can bereached by Thameslink train from London Bridge. Stanstedrequires a train from Liverpool Street. By boat, Collins River Enterprises runs a service forGreenland Pier to Canary Wharf and upstream along the river tothe Savoy (timetable).There is also a service between the HolidayInn at Nelson Dock and Canary Wharf. City Cruisesoperate from Cherry Garden Pier, and have a webcampointed at Tower Bridge. The SurreyQuays Shopping Centre is the major attraction for shoppers.Nearby is the massive Decathlon(Décathlon en français) set of sports shops. Albion Street,Lower Road, Jamaica Road and the nearby Southwark Park Road inBermondsey also have a surprisingly wide collection of shops. The new Leisure Park behind the Surrey QuaysShopping Centre already has Riva Bingo, ten-pin bowling andvideo games at HollywoodBowl , together with food and drink at Quincey's American Barand Grill, Pizza Hut, Fatty Arbuckle's andOriginal with its own cafe and micro brewery. There is also a 9screen UCI Cinema withmostruns starting on Fridays . There is a large indoor swimming pool and more (such as the TanseikanAikido Club) at the SevenIslands Leisure Centre in Lower Road, outdoor sport andtraining at the SouthwarkPark Sports Complex, and aquatic pursuits at the SurreyDocks Watersports Centre at Greenland Dock. For those with aboat, there is SouthDock Marina. Bacon'sCollege has facilities for hire and groups such as Kikusui Kai Aikido meetthere. There are many restaurants in the area. One which seeks toattract half of London is Downtown withits hen parties. Many local groups promote leisureactivities. In particular, Time Talentshas a weekly timetable packed with opportunites aimed at all agegroups from under 5s to over 50s. Many of the local pubs have live music and quiz nights, suchas the Mayflower quizon Tuesdays.Brunel'sEngine House was built to help construct the first underwatertunnel in the world (now used by the East London Line) and isopen on the first Sunday of each month. There is a pump house from the old docks, at Lavender Roadstands the Lavender Dock Pump House re-named the Pumphouse EducationalMuseum, open Monday to Friday 9.30 - 3.30. Meanwhile, theformer London Hydraulic Company's works next to Canada Water Busstation have been derelict for many years and now beingredeveloped into high priced flats. The SurreyDocks City Farm provides urban children (and adults) a chanceto meet farm animals locally and to understand agricultural lifemore generally. It has a working blacksmith (offering an apprenticeship).These and other local sites had open houses on 20 August 2000during the Rotherhithe Millennium Festival,on Sunday 2nd September 2001 at the RotherhitheFestival 2001 and on Sunday 14th July 2002 at the Rotherhithe Festival 2002, at theRotherhithe Festival 2003, on 11 July 2004 at the Rotherhithe Festival 2004, and on 3July 2005 at the RotherhitheFestival 2005.(The names are clear if unoriginal).Mayflower1620 Ltd, a Southwark tour guide training provider has a setof pictures of some of the local sites in Rotherhitheand Bermondsey.This may not be a complete list. Compare it with the list of pubs inRotherhithe in 1881, though some have changed their names (forexample the Mayflower used to be the Spread Eagle). There are several walks set out in the area, including theThames Path along the river (where Wharves and Housing do not getin the way), the Rotherhithe Walk through the old village, theLavender Dock walk and the nearby ecological park and Russia DockWoodland. It is easy (and indeed fun) to get lost. The only reallandmark is Canary Wharf to the east (or north-east) across theriver - the angle at which it appears can be used for navigation.Some of the signposts are unreliable or confusing; those aimed atcyclists tend to be better . The ThamesPath is a nationaltrail of 180 miles (288 km.) from the source of the Thamesnear Kemble in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier betweenSilvertown and Charlton. A guide by David Sharp The ThamesPath is published by Aurum Press in association with the Countryside Commission (nowCountryside Agency) , OrdnanceSurvey and the RamblersAssociation . It includes a description of the walk fromTower Bridge, past the Angel Pub and the traces of Edward III'sManor House (coming downstream from Tower Bridge and Bermondsey)through the narrow alleys of old Rotherhithe, past St Mary'sChurch and the Mayflower pub, to Cumberland Wharf and the statue SunbeamWeekly and the Pilgrim's Pocket of a Pilgrim Father'sastonishment at a 1930's comic describing the USA. You pass a jetty (nowclosed) with an odd metal bird. When forced back onto RotherhitheStreet, you cross a dock bridge and pass the Spice Island pub.The most pleasant part of the riverside walk is at SovereignCrescent, entering through no-entry signs (for cars). Eventuallyback on Rotherhithe Street, at LavenderRoad stands the Lavender Dock Pump House re-named the PumphouseEducational Museum. Thewalk goes past Nelson's Dock and the Hilton, and on to SurreyDocks Farm . Finally, Odessa Street in Downtown takes you toGreenland Dock and South Dock, reminders of how the SurreyCommercial Docks once covered the area, and on to Deptford. Thereis also an onlineguide . In reverse, much of this route forms the firstpart of the Pilgrim Trail .A wide angle view from the Canary WharfJetty across the river shows part of the riverside. SouthwarkPark was opened in 1869 - a sensible attempt to rename it asRotherhithe Park was rejected by the London County Council in1922 - and provides an opportunity for walks as well as festivalsand carnivals. It has an art gallery.JohnButler's landscape photographs illustrate some of the greenerparts of the area.SouthwarkCouncil is the local education authority, with primaryschools including Albion School, Alfred Salter School, RedriffSchool, and Rotherhithe School, with the Church of Englandprimary at PeterHills, and the Roman Catholic primaries St John's and StJoseph's also in the area. Bacon'sCollege (a Church of England City Technology College) is thelocal secondary school, though many pupils commute in and out ofthe area. It is establishing a local schools' network. Thenearest RC secondary school is St Michael's inBermondsey. Aylwin Girls Scool is in Southwark Park Road.Ofsted run inspectionsof schools, sometimes controversially. Here are some of theirreports (pdf): In this part of south east London NationalHealth Services are delivered by the Lambeth, Southwark and LewishamHealth Authority, who publish lists of local GPsurgeries, dentists,and otherservices. SouthwarkCommunity Health Council can give advice and support aboutthe local NHS. The local hospital is Guys, part of the Guys and St Thomas' HospitalTrust and the United Medicaland Dental School , which has just merged with King's College . However, itsA E Department closed in September 1999, being left with adaytime Minor Injuries Department. The nearest casualty hospitalsare St Thomas', Lewisham,Greenwich and Kings. Ifyour needs are urgent, the London AmbulanceService will try to get you there. For advice at home, youcan try NHS Direct onthe web or by phoning 0845 4647. Social Services are provided by SouthwarkCouncil.The Rotherhithe Workhouse in Lower Road closed in 1884, butleft its infirmary, later to be called St Olave's Hospital (namedafter the Poor Law Union, which in turn was named after an oldchurch in Tooley Street near London Bridge - the similarity withthe local Norwegian Church St Olaf's isjust a coincidence, the man himself being a Norwegian King whoconverted Norway to Christianity and helped defend London againstDanish invasion - Tooley is another version of St Olave). St.Olave's Hospital started to be restricted in 1970 and finallyclosed in 1984: all that remains is St Olave's House, a nursinghome which is part of the South London Family Housing AssociationGroup. Public Services (return to contents)Most local services are provided by Southwark Council (includingeducation, social services, housing, waste collection etc.)Southwark has established AreaForums ( fora to those forced to learn Latin)across the borough, including Number 2 covering Bermondsey andRotherhithe. The first meeting was on 3 February 2001, to befollowed by one on 12 Marchat the Beomund Centre, 177 Abbey Street SE1 at 7-9 pm. SouthwarkCouncil's Planning Department makes it possible to look at asummary of recent applications. Rotherhithe can be found eitheras Dockyard ward (at least until May 2002) orcovering a wider area Rotherhithe village. The Mayor of London (KenLivingstone) and the Greater London Assembly (including therepresentative for Southwark and Lambeth ValShawcross) have a predominately co-ordinating role, but withparticular functions related to transport, regional economicdevelopment, and the police and fire services.The local MetropolitanPolice station is in Lower Road open from 6am to 10pm, partof the SouthwarkDivision. If it not worth a 999 call, try 020-7231 1212 (thoughyou will still get a switchboard). Outside these hours, trySouthwark Police Station on 020-7378 1212. There are Fire Stations on Deptford Road and Dockhead (at thewest end of Jamaica Road), though the Fire Brigade is consideringclosing these and opening one in Surrey Docks. The Employment Service has a Jobcentrein Albion Street. The Office forNational Statistics has produced a variety of data todescribe Dockyard Ward, including a textprofile, some keynumbers, and the opportunity to select moreinformation. Interestingly, some of these numbers do not meetthe National Statistics quality standard which gives the ONS itsname. Upmysteet.comallows you to type in your postcode and see what advertisersthink you and your neighbours are like. Here's what they sayabout the area aroundPeter Hills' School. Rotherhithe is part of the North Southwark and Bermondseyconstituency which (like most of the rest of the UK) saw a swingto Labour in the May 1997 General Election, though with a swingin the opposite direction in 2001. In the 1999European Parliament elections, the Labour Party list camefirst in the constituency, overtaking the Liberal Democrats forthe first time in 17 years. The local Conservatives only got7% of the vote in the two General Elections but almost doubledthis in the Euro-elections. Locally it is part of the London Borough of Southwark, untilApril 2002 being called Dockyard Ward. Because of recentpopulation growth, it was split in May 2002 into an easterly wardcalled SurreyDocks and a westerly ward called Rotherhithe.In the Southwark Council elections in 2002, the council remainedunder no overall control .Since 2000 the Greater London Authority has been admisteringthe London region. ValShawcross is the member of the Assembly representingSouthwark and Lambeth.Rotherhithe has been a manor and ecclesiastical parish sincethe early Middle Ages. Politically, it was a separate civilparish until 1900 (in Surrey until 1889); it then became part ofthe Borough of Bermondsey until 1965 (in the County of London);and it is now in Greater London and the London Borough ofSouthwark. The Story of Rotherhithe, a book written by StephenHumphrey and published by the London Borough of Southwark and itsLocalStudies Library (Neighbourhood History No. 6), suggests thatRotherhithe was first mentioned by name in the early 12th centuryin the reign of King Henry I. By contrast, the Council's Rotherhitheinternet history page says it was first mentioned in an Anglo-Saxoncharter of 898. Part of the problem is changes of name. Redriff (asin the local road and school) is the same word as Rotherhithe,both meaning either mariners haven or cattle landing point,depending on the source. About half of Rotherhithe was given to Bermondsey Abbey in theearly 12th century by King Henry I. It later acquired much of therest, though losing everything under King Henry VIII. King EdwardIII built a manor house in the mid 14th century (with thefoundations still visible). Shipbuilding was a traditional industry, and shipwrights inRotherhithe competed with those on the north side of the river;those to the north (being freemen of the City of London)described those on the Surrey bank as foreigners .Despite this, the Rotherhithe Shipwrights petitioned QueenElizabeth I in 1578 for the right to control the industry on theThames, and in 1612 received a Royal Charter from King James Ifor the The Master, Wardens and Commonalty of the Art orMystery of Shipwrights of Redriff in the County of Surrey. Thisled to a long and protracted dispute about jurisdiction with whatwould later become the City Livery Company, the WorshipfulCompany of Shipwrights ; the dispute continued until 1684when the charter was canceled. The Howland Wet Dock (renamed Greenland Dock once the whalingtrade was centred there) was the second wet dock in London, builtin 1696-1700, and was much bigger than its predecessor atBlackwell. It later became the property of the Russellfamily through careful marriage of a Howland heiress. By 1810,it was also being used for timber (Dealporters stacked the softwood imports) and corn, becoming partof the Commercial Docks, and some years later was taken over bythe Surrey Commercial Dock Company as part of a network of docksin Rotherhithe. They tried to build a canal to Portsmouth, butonly got as far as Peckham. The Thames Tunnel built by the Brunelswas the first sub-aqueous tunnel in the world and provided awalkway to the north bank of the Thames at Wapping. It was latertaken over for railway traffic, and on 12 June 1908 was joined bythe RotherhitheTunnel to Limehouse for motor traffic, opened by the Princeof Wales and Richard Atkinson Robinson, Chairman of the LondonCounty Council. The Docks were destroyed during the Blitz and many otherRotherhithe building were flattened in the Second World War, buttrade recovered quickly in the 1940s and 50s. However, this wasshort lived and the growing size of ships, London trafficcongestion and the move to pallets and containerisation lead todecline and eventually in 1970 to the closure of the Docks.Southwark Council slowly started the measures needed forregeneration, but its land and most of its powers weretransferred to the London DocklandDevelopment Corporation (LDDC) in 1981,leading to substantial amounts of central government money beingmade available. The powers and responsibilities were transferredback in 1996-1998. The Corporation of London and iBase Image Systems sells printsof old pictures of Rotherhithe.Peter Marshall has some photos from the late1970s and early1980s. The South East London Guide has a chronology(though I think Canute was a Dane). A more complete timeline producedby Robert Brook covers Bermondsey as well, and has separatepages for Pre-1000s,1000s,1100s,1200s,1300s,1400s,1500s,1600s,1700s,1800s,1900sand 2000s.The Story of Londonis more general, but includes some local points, such as thefirst Portland Cement factory in London being in Rotherhithe,established by William Aspdin in 1841 and used in the ThamesTunnel. The Rotherhitheand Bermondsey Local History Group meets regularly.The star of Rotherhithe's Churches is St Mary,following a high but relaxed Anglican tradition, and part of the Diocese of Southwark . CapitainChristopher Jones of the Mayflower is buried in the grounds,and there is a memorial stone to Prince Lee Boo of the PelewIslands (now the Republic of Palauor Belau- north of New Guinea) inside the Church. While the site claims alegacy of Christian worship of over 1000 years (and the crypt andfoundations provide some evidence of first millennium origens),the current building dates from the early 18th century. Theceiling looks like an upturned boat, while the pillars look likestone, but are in fact wood (like ships' masts) with plaster. TheDocklands (bell)Ringing Centre has a short history of StMary's Church. HolyTrinity in Downtown is the other local Church of Englandchurch, a post war building after the earlier church wasdestroyed in the Blitz. St Katharine withSt Bartholomew is right at the south western corner ofRotherhithe. Rotherhithe is also the base for the GeneralSecretary of the Church ofEngland Guild of Vergers For those wanting a Protestant non-CofE church, theRotherhithe Evangelical FreeChurch is in Lower Road; an alternative is the Surrey QuaysChristian Fellowship. Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholicchurch in the centre of the redeveloped docks, while St Peter andthe Guardian Angels may be more convenient for those in the northwest. There are four Nordic Lutheran churches in Rotherhithe: StOlaf's is the NorwegianChurch and Seaman's Mission ( Norske Sjømannskirke) in London (co-incidentally sharing the same name as theformer St Olave's Hospital and Workhouse which used to be inLower Road); also in Albion Street is the Finnish Church (LontoonSuomen Merimieskirkko) in London (wouldn't it be nice if theycalled it StHenry's after the Englishman who was patron saint of Finlanduntil the reformation). They also provide a cultural and socialfocus (the Finnish Church has a sauna). While the main Swedish Church iselsewhere in London, the Swedish Seaman's Mission (SvenskaSjömanskyrkan) is in Lower Road and has cheap accomodation.Similarly, the main Danish Churchis elsewhere, but the Danish Seaman'sChurch is in Rope Street just south of Greenland Dock. TheDanes and Norwegians probably have the longest historicalconnection with the area - it is suggested that Canute (Knut)built a canal from Rotherhithe to Waterloo so as to be able toattack London from the west without passing under London Bridge,while Olave (a.k.a. Olav, Olaf or Tooley)may have helped defend London from Canute's father. If you want to play yourself, the leisuresection may help. Local football (soccer to North Americans) is represented by FisherAthletic with its Surrey Docks Stadium in Salter Road.Currently in the Dr Marten's League Eastern Division (after beingchampions of the Eastern Division in 1999-2000 and relegated backthe following year), they would only need to be promoted sixtimes to reach the Premiership. For those looking forLeague football clubs, Millwallis the closest and is in SE16 (though just across the boroughborder in Deptford in Lewisham, with Charlton Athletic,West Ham United, Crystal Palace nearby. First class (Surrey CCC)and international cricket takes place at the Oval innearby Kennington. The LondonMarathon passes through Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe at miles 9and 10 and kilometre 15 shortly before Tower Bridge.

In the newdevelopments, prices are typically higher than many other partsof South London, but lower than much of the rest of Docklands.River and dock views carry a heavy premium. The NewStatesman carried some opinion on local housing in 1998,while the EveningStandard carried estate agents' promotion forthe area as well as someSE16 prices from the mid 1990s. Estate Agents in the area include: Winkworth and Kinleigh Folkard Haywardin the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre; Alex Neil , Burnet Ware Graves, Oliver Jaques,Oppida and Burwood Marh inLower Road.

Thereis also sheltered housing such as the AbbeyfieldRotherhithe Society next to Surrey Water. Cultural references (return to contents)In the James Bond film Tomorrow NeverDies , HarmsworthQuays Printers was used as the scene for Carver's print works.Gulliver's wife in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver'sTravels, lived in Redriff (written Rotherhith once) and he too lived there between voyages and to record hismemoirs. Four roads almost remember this: Lagado Mews named afterthe city beneath the floating island of Laputa; Leydon Close as amisspelling of Leyden where Gulliver studied medicine; Dean Closeto recall Swift's position in the Church of Ireland; and SmithClose as a gross misrendering of Swift. In T. S. Eliot's OldPossum's Book of Practical Cats , in Growltiger's LastStand Eliot suggests that the cottagers of Rotherhithe knewsomething of this rough cat's fame, though some of the words maysince have taken an unintended extra meaning. The swelling murmurs grew, from Rotherhithe to Kew, against W.S. Gilbert's Peterthe Wag, a policeman with a slightly odd sense of humour andduty. Sherlock Holmes, in the Caseof the Dying Dectective , had been investigating a casein Rotherhithe before getting sick. Or had he? In Charles Dickens's OliverTwist , Fagin meets his end at Jacob's Island, nearwhere Rotherhithe Church abuts the Thames . In OurMutual Friend, Mortimer Lightwood and Eugene Wrayburn go by Rotherhithe; down by where accumulated scum of humanityseemed to be washed from higher grounds, like so much moralsewage, and to be pausing until its own weight forced it over thebank and sunk it in the river to find a body taken from theThames. H.W. Longfellow in TheTheologian's Tale compared the sight of masts and sailson the Thames seen from Rotherhithe Street with the pines andpatches of snow on their branches of the Delaware River. In Virginia Woolf's TheVoyage Out the ferryman recalls when his boat carrieddelicate feet across to lawns at Rotherhithe. J.M.W. Turner's TheFighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to bebroken up painted in 1838 shows this hero of theNile and Trafalgar on its way to Rotherhithe. A Bishop's Chair inSt Mary's Church is made from timbers ofthe Temeraire. Both JamesMcNeill Whistler and WJ Cooper produced etchings of Rotherhithe. The Greenwich artist TerryScales grew up in Rotherhithe and has painted ThamesBarges at Rotherhithe as well as many other Thamespictures.

Cuckold's Point is said in Brewer'sPhrase and Fable to be where King John made love tosomeone else's wife. It was marked by horns on the river wall,and was a notedand popular landmark for many centuries. I wanna tell you a story Max Bygraveswas born in Rotherhithe on 16 October 1922 as Walter WilliamBygraves. Not a lot of people knew that Michael Cainewas born in Rotherhithe on 14 March 1933 as Maurice JosephMicklewhite. PrincessMargaret was courted by the photographer Tony Armstrong-Jones(later Lord Snowdon) in a warehouse in Rotherhithe before theannouncement of their engagement and their marriage in 1960.Guy Fawkes may have bought the gunpowder for the GunpowderPlot from the powder mill in Rotherhithe, surplus stock after theend of the Anglo-Spanish war.Rotherhithe had the last case of the Great Plague in 1679 - ithit London mainly in 1665. In 1870, ProfessorThomas Henry Huxley (Charles Darwin's propagandist andgrandfather of the Brave New World writer Aldous) wrote ofhis wonder that the poor of Rotherhithe did not sally forth andplunder. Henry Fielding (author of Tom Jones) wrote copiously ofhis enforced stay in Rotherhithe in his posthumously published Journalof a Voyage to Lisbon, where he died shortly afterarriving in 1754. In Herman Melville's story Moby Dick,he sets out his belief that whalers have a undeserved reputationfor foul smells due to the transport practices of 18th centurynorthern ships delivering to Greenland Dock. Mr and Mrs Peacham, the fences in John Gay's TheBeggar's Opera, kept a warehouse in Redriff, from whichthey sold stolen goods to sailors.

There is a real (if limited) choice for short-term places tostay, between the up-market HiltonLondon Docklands (formerly the Holiday Inn Nelson's Dock, andbefore that the Scandic Crown) and the RotherhitheYouth Hostel. A future possibility might have been at CanadaWater, near the exits of the new Jubilee Line station,although the council now has grander plans.
