Bermondsey has been the location of a major abbey, the centre of the country's important leather industry and 'London's Larder'. It is bisected by London's first railway. In WWII bombs fell more often and more continuously than almost anywhere in the UK killing 709 civilians. Over 3000 homes were destroyed and nearly all damaged. |

The linear walk is about 4 miles and the circular walk 2½ miles mostly pavement walking | Despite post-war re-building much of old Bermondsey remains and can be seen on this walk. It gives the opportunity to view at close quarters buildings glimpsed from the train. | [Linear Route & what to see] |
