Moving to Rotherhithe SE16

The southeast London district of SE16 Rotherhithe is located in the London Borough of Southwark. It lies on a peninsula on the south bank of the Thames and is part of the Docklands region. On the north bank Rotherhithe faces Wapping and the Isle of Dogs and Deptford is its neighbour to the southeast. In the west direction the area is bordered by Bermondsey. Rotherhithe SE16 is joined to the north bank of the River Thames by three tunnels which are the Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf, the Thames Tunnel to Wapping, and the Rotherhithe Tunnel to Limehouse.

Greenland_DockDespite the fact that most of the docks in the Rotherhithe SE16 area have since been filled up and substituted by commercial and domestic buildings, it is very clear that the area’s past is dominated by a maritime heritage. In the area’s south you will find Greenland Dock, the biggest dock still in operation. A number of preserved wharves can be seen in the northern part of the area. Many historical attractions in SE16 Rotherhithe can be observed in Rotherhithe Village and these include Brunel Engine House and St Mary’s Church. The area’s former general hospital, the St Olave’s Hospital, was built in the 1870s but is now the Ann Moss Way residential area. Other attractions include Canada Water, Russia Dock Woodland, Cuckold’s Point, South Dock, Stave Hill, and the Hilton Docklands Nelson Dock Pier.

Thanks to the Scandinavian connections that were created in the course of trade activities with the Baltics and Scandinavia through the Surrey Docks, Rotherhithe SE16 has a healthy Scandinavian community to this day. The influence of these Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian communities is felt when one observes house and church designs, and street design and naming in their respective areas.

Both Max Bygraves and Michael Caine were born in the Rotherhithe area. Myleene Klass and the late Malcolm Hardee once lived here.
