Randomness Guide to London Menu

A peninsular area of South-East London lying within the London Borough of Southwark, in the SE16 postal district.

Its southern part, around Surrey Quays Station and the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, may be referred to as Surrey Quays. It also has a slight overlap with Bermondsey to the west; some people think [Southwark Park]? is in Bermondsey, others think it's in Rotherhithe, and this uncertainty extends to the council estates along the northern part of Southwark Park Road.

River crossings to the north are via the East London Line from Surrey Quays Station, Canada Water Station, or Rotherhithe Station to Wapping Station, or via the Rotherhithe Tunnel (which is, however, unsuitable for both cyclists and pedestrians). River crossings to the east are via Canada Water Station on the Jubilee Line, or via the Hilton Ferry.
