River crossings to the north are via the [[Category East London Line|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 [[Category Jubilee Line|Jubilee Line]], or via the [[Hilton Ferry]].
 The temporary closure of the [[Category East London Line|East London Line]] means that crossing the river to the north is no longer particularly easy; the only current route is via the [[Rotherhithe Tunnel]], which is unsuitable for both cyclists and pedestrians. The nearest non-car point of access to the north bank is now via [[Locale Tower Bridge|Tower Bridge]], some distance to the west. However, the area is still served by [[Canada Water Station]] on the [[Category Jubilee Line|Jubilee Line]].

Wapping Shadwell Canary Wharf
Bermondsey Rotherhithe Millwall
Bermondsey Surrey Quays Deptford

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.

The temporary closure of the East London Line means that crossing the river to the north is no longer particularly easy; the only current route is via the Rotherhithe Tunnel, which is unsuitable for both cyclists and pedestrians. The nearest non-car point of access to the north bank is now via Tower Bridge, some distance to the west. However, the area is still served by Canada Water Station on the Jubilee Line.
