Area guide: Southwark

The London Borough of Southwark covers some of London’s most vibrant communities such as Peckham, Dulwich, Camberwell, Bermondsey, Walworth and Rotherhith. It has been home to famous residents including Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise (Dulwich Village), Emma Thompson (Camberwell) and Rio Ferdinand (Peckham) and Charles Dickens. Notable Southwark sites include London Bridge, the Dulwich Picture Gallery and schools such as Dulwich College, Alleyn’s and James Allen’s Girls School (JAGS). Many of these Southwark schools have an excellent range of sports facilities for hire to the Southwark community as well as activities.
