Rotherhithe
Rotherhithe () is a residential district in southeast London, England, and part of the London Borough of Southwark. It is located on a peninsula on the south bank of the Thames, facing Wapping and the Isle of Dogs on the north bank, and is a part of the Docklands area. It borders Bermondsey to the west and Deptford to the south east.
Rotherhithe has a long history as a port, with many shipyards from Elizabethan times until the early 20th century and with working docks until the 1970s. In the 1980s the area along the river was redeveloped as upmarket housing, through a mix of warehouse conversions and new-build developments. Following the arrival of the Jubilee line in 1999 (giving quick connections to the West End and to Canary Wharf) and the London Overground in 2010 (providing a quick route to the City of London), the rest of Rotherhithe is now a rapidly gentrifying residential and commuter area, with current regeneration progressing well around Downtown Road/Rotherhithe Street area and most quickly around Deal Porter Square at Canada Water, where a new town centre with restaurant and retail units as well as new residential developments is emerging around the existing freshwater dock and transport hub.
==Etymology==
The name "Rotherhithe" derives from the Anglo-Saxon ''Hrȳðer-hȳð'' meaning "landing-place for cattle".〔A Dictionary of British Place-Names, A.D. Mills ( ''Rotherhithe'' ), Oxford University Press, 2003, ISBN 0-19-283131-3〕 The first recorded use of this name was in about 1105, as ''Rederheia''.〔 In the past Rotherhithe was also known as ''Redriff'' or ''Redriffe'',〔BBC London, (A Thames Tour of Rotherhithe )〕〔(John Wells’s phonetic blog ), ''Redriff'', 31 October 2007〕 however until the early 19th century, this name was applied to the whole river front from St Saviour's Dock to Bull Head Dock, this near the entrance to Surrey Water.〔
