Area summary
SE16 spans Southwark and Lewisham and covers Rotherhithe (the principal area), Surrey Quays / Surrey Docks, Bermondsey south, parts of Evelyn. The Surrey Commercial Docks closed in 1969 and the area was substantially redeveloped from the 1980s, with substantial 1980s and 1990s housing and the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre as the principal commercial anchor. The riverfront retains pockets of historic stock around Rotherhithe village (the Mayflower pub claims to be on the site where the ship departed in 1620, the Brunel Museum sits in the Engine House of the Thames Tunnel). The Canada Water masterplan, a major mixed-use redevelopment by British Land, is delivering substantial new housing through the late 2020s and 2030s.
Rotherhithe, Canada Water (Jubilee Line + Overground), Surrey Quays and Bermondsey stations serve the outcode.
