Rotherhithe is home to 2 worlds - One of city workers with easy access to central London and Waterloo and the other countrified urbanites who can stroll along the river and the large commons in the area. It's a waterside hamlet with a glorious 1715 parish church, wonderful old school and 16th century Mayflower pub that's almost unchanged. Properties range from dramatic red gabled blocks with loft-style apartments, pre-war council flats, imposing 1930's white blocks of flats to stylish 2 bed houses on Mary Church Street.
