Rotherhithe Area Guide & Local Information: Rotherhithe is now primarily a residential area on the south side of the River Thames within the London Borough of Southwark. The peninsula has maritime connections. The historic pilgrim voyage of The Mayflower ship captained by Christopher Jones to America commenced here.
The voyage set sail from The Mayflower public house, which can still be visited and enjoyed today. This popular pub is found on Rotherhithe Street, which borders the peninsula from Rotherhithe Village to Surrey Docks Farm. Rotherhithe has intrinsic links with Surrey Quays and bustling Canada Water.
The former is a popular destination for retail therapy and entertainment. The latter is home to a Jubilee Line station, and Canary Wharf is one stop east. The 'Canada Water Masterplan' will see progressive development and improvement of the area and further uplift Rotherhithe.
Several sports activities are available at Seven Islands Leisure Centre, home to a 33m swimming pool.
Also at hand is Surrey Docks Fitness & Water Sports Centre, located on Rope Street offers a modern gym and water sports like sailing, kayaking and rowing, all within Surrey Docks. Zone 2 Rotherhithe Rail Station is just one stop from the Jubilee Line at Canada Water, and this will appeal to those commuting to Canary Wharf. In addition, the Rotherhithe Tunnel provides an easy vehicular link to the river's north. This famous "Brunel" built tunnel was a fantastic engineering feat when constructed in 1908.
Rotherhithe Street is the primary source of riverside living on the peninsular. Many modern developments sit alongside warehouse conversions explored in our Hope Wharf Development Guide, Globe Wharf Development Guide and Canada Wharf Development Guide. Rotherhithe has properties to suit many tastes and budgets, and the ongoing local improvements will only improve life in Rotherhithe.
