Rotherhithe: the old docks and the Pilgrim pub
The Mayflower sailed from here. The pub's still there. Walked and written by the editor. https://walkwalk.org/london/walks/rotherhithe-river-walk

1. Bermondsey Antiques Market
Fridays only, from 6am to 2pm. The best antiques market in London if you go early. Bermondsey Square holds it.

2. Bermondsey Street
The street that runs south from London Bridge's southern side. White Cube at the north end; the Woolpack at the south. Good independent restaurants the full length.

3. Brunel Museum
Inside the old engine house of the Thames Tunnel — the world's first underwater tunnel, built by Marc and Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1843. Small, excellent, worth an hour.

4. The Mayflower pub
The Pilgrim Fathers drank here before leaving for Plymouth and then America in 1620. Timber jetty over the river, American and British flags, the most maritime pub in London.

5. Rotherhithe station
The Overground back, or continue along the Thames path east to Deptford. The path here is quieter than anywhere on the south bank west.
