An Introduction to Rotherhithe
Rotherhithe is a Thameside district of southeast London, in the London Borough of Southwark. Rotherhithe has been a port since the 12th Century, and a shipyard since Elizabethan times, the architecture is a mixture of modern housing, and industrial gems. Our
property agents recommend Rotherhithe to those who are seeking out the calmer side of London.

Rotherhithe is served by three stations. Rotherhithe station itself is served by the London Overground, offering connections to Shoreditch High Street, Highbury and Islington, Denmark Hill, and Crystal Palace. Canada Water station is also in the area, which is on the Jubilee Line.
Being a waterside area, Rotherhithe also offers River boat services, from Nelson Dock pier and Greenland Surrey Quays pier. The riverbank in Rotherhithe also carries part of the Thames Path, which runs from Richmond to the Thames Barrier.
Local Tips
Rotherhithe is a chilled, quiet neighbourhood with an abundance of scenery, and a lack of tourists. The area is great for family days out, our property agents recommend Surrey Docks Farm which is home to a range of barnyard animals such as donkeys and pigs. We also love Brunel Museum, which tells the story of an engineering family, who built the first tunnel under the Thames.
