How to get here
First things first, how to get to this little corner of London. There are several options using public transport. You can take the Jubilee Line to Canada Water, which is just two stops from London Bridge and four stops from Waterloo. If coming from the other direction, it’s one stop from Canary Wharf. Another option is the Overground line (orange on TFL’s map). This train line connects a loop around London, so provides a direct route to Rotherhithe from Clapham Junction, Islington, Shoreditch...
Walking to Rotherhithe from Tower Bridge
Rotherhithe village is small and best explored on foot. Also, nearly everywhere is dog friendly too, so bring along your beloved pooch for the adventure. Rotherhithe covers the area directly alongside the river. However, as this is part of a peninsula surrounded by the Thames, you can easily walk into the neighbouring area called Canada Water. It actually makes a delightful walking route. Looking at this map might make it a bit clearer: You can see London Bridge and Tower Bridge marked on the...
Strictly speaking, the Brunel Museum would be at the heart of Rotherhithe village. But, I personally think the ideal Rotherhithe walking route would start at a pub called The Angel(which you can clearly see on the map above). If you fancied a mini pub crawl, this is the perfect starting point in my opinion. On summer days, huge crowds of locals gat...

Oct 28, 2022 · A post shared by Glide London (@glidelondon) St Mary’s Church is one of the best things to do in Rotherhithe if you want to visit a historical landmark. It’s the local Church of England Parish in Rotherhithe that actually used to be in Surrey, but is now located in the dockland area. It towers above the surrounding trees and certainly has ...
- Visit the Mayflower pub. In 1620 history was made in Rotherhithe Village. A ship called The Mayflower set sail from the back of a local historic pub and sailed across the Atlantic.
- Brunel Museum. Isambard Kingdom Brunel is considered by many to have been the greatest engineer who ever lived. He built everything – railways, tunnels, bridges, flat-pack hospitals and ships including the SS Great Britain (the first ship in the world powered by a propeller and now proudly exhibited in Bristol).
- Sands Film. Next to The Brunel Museum on St Marychurch Street is Sands Films. It inhabits a Georgian warehouse originally called Grice’s Granary. Sands Films is unique.
