Rotherhithe (SE16), including Canada Water and Surrey Quays, is an area with a rich maritime history, once home to the largest docks in London. Today, the docks have been transformed into residential developments and leisure spaces, making Rotherhithe a popular choice for those seeking riverside living. The area has strong historical ties to the Mayflower, with the famous ship departing from Rotherhithe in 1620. Famous residents include actor Michael Caine, who grew up in Rotherhithe.

Popular residential roads include Salter Road, which is lined with modern townhouses and provides easy access to the Thames Path, and Rotherhithe Street, which offers stunning riverside views and converted warehouses. These roads are particularly sought after for their proximity to the river and peaceful surroundings.

The area features popular local spots such as The Mayflower Pub, one of London’s oldest pubs, and Canada Water Cafe, a favourite brunch spot for locals. Schools like Redriff Primary School and St. John’s Catholic School serve the community well. Canada Water Station, on the Jubilee Line and Overground, provides excellent transport links, making it easy for residents to reach Canary Wharf and central London. The mix of old dockland charm and modern amenities makes Rotherhithe a vibrant place to live.
