Rotherhithe is an area in south-east London in the London Borough of Southwark. It is located on a peninsula facing Wapping and the Isle of Dogs, and is a part of the Docklands area. Rotherhithe was where the Mayflower ship set off on its journey to carry the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1620. The historic Mayflower pub on Rotherhithe Street stands by the site where it set sail from. The pub has its own jetty. The district is often referred to as Surrey Docks or Surrey Quays as most of it was covered by the now-defunct Surrey Commercial Docks. It’s home to Surrey Quays Shopping Centre and a Leisure Park housing ten-pin bowling, bingo, restaurants and a cinema. The Seven Islands Leisure Centre is on Lower Road. Rotherhithe has three tunnels. The Thames Tunnel to Wapping, The Rotherhithe Tunnel to Limehouse and the Jubilee Line extension to Canary Wharf. The docks were closed and largely filled in during the 1980s, replaced by housing and commercial premises. St. Mary's Church dominates the old town centre, a short distance from the historic Brunel Engine House. Due to strong trade links with Scandinavia, the area is home to a thriving Scandinavian community, and has Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish churches.
