Local knowledge
Rotherhithe — the area, up close
Rotherhithe is a historic riverside area in Southwark, with a mix of Victorian terraced houses around St Mary's Church and modern warehouse conversions along the docks. The area has a distinct maritime character, with Rotherhithe Street running parallel to the Thames and passing the Brunel Museum. New-build apartments at Canada Water and Surrey Quays have changed the skyline but the core of Rotherhithe retains its old London charm.
Parking in Rotherhithe is tight, particularly on weekdays when Southwark's CPZ zones G and H are enforced. Many streets near Rotherhithe's Greenland Dock require a suspension for a removals van, and the narrow roads around the historic core can be a challenge for large vehicles. We always check the specific street before move day to avoid fines.

We've done dozens of moves in Rotherhithe, from warehouse conversions on Rotherhithe Street to flats in Canada Water.
