Rotherhithe Property Guide
About Rotherhithe
Rotherhithe is a charming area located on the south bank of the River Thames, combining maritime heritage with modern living. Once a bustling dockland, it has evolved into a thriving residential community, with a mix of architectural styles to suit a range of buyers and tenants, from new build developments to 19th-century warehouse conversions.
Local Amenities
Rotherhithe has an eclectic mix of dining spots, including the popular local Italian restaurant Canada Water Cafe and the historic Mayflower Pub. Another top choice is The Pear Tree, an Australian-inspired neighbourhood restaurant on Greenland Place. Canada Water Market is open every Sunday in Deal Porter Square and features independent stalls and street food, perfect for a quick bite or lunch on the go.
There are many green spaces for exercise, relaxation or dog walks, including Stave Hill Ecological Park and Russia Dock Woodland, situated on land reclaimed from former docks. Alternatively, you can follow the Thames Path for riverside routes towards Tower Bridge or Greenwich. If you are looking to take up sailing, kayaking, windsurfing or power boating, there is also a watersports centre at Surrey Docks.
