Your patch

Walking in Bermondsey.

Bermondsey runs from the warehouses at Shad Thames to Southwark Park and the Rotherhithe docks, with the Thames Path along the top, and plenty of flat-dwelling dogs in between.

The parks and walking spots

  • Southwark Park. The big SE16 park with the lake and the bandstand, the main walk for most of Bermondsey.
  • Thames Path. From Tower Bridge east past Shad Thames and Bermondsey Wall to Rotherhithe, flat and on lead.
  • Russia Dock Woodland and Stave Hill. Wooded paths by Surrey Quays, with the little hill at the top.
  • Bermondsey Spa Gardens and Leathermarket Gardens. The small SE1 and SE16 greens for 20-minute walks.
  • Tanner Street Park. A small park behind Bermondsey Street, handy for the SE1 flats.

The streets

Bermondsey Street and Maltby Street, Shad Thames and Jamaica Road, the Blue around Southwark Park Road, and Rotherhithe and Canada Water by the docks.
