About the Project Creator
We have a lively community of people who live here, work here and come to visit. We want everyone to feel welcome.
BermondseyStreet.London grew out of the Bermondsey Street Area Partnership, which in turn grew out of the Bermondsey Street Association, back in the 1960s.
There is a long tradition of community activity here, which we are proud to continue as we move forward sharing information about our area and acting as the voice of local people on local issues.
Because of its long history, much of the area is classed as a conservation area and some of the older buildings are listed. These include industrial buildings, now adapted for other purposes as well as historic houses. BermondseyStreet.London has produced Trail Guides which can guide you round the area while you learn about its heritage and architecture.
We organise events, publish guides, support community projects and spread the word about local exhibitions, restaurants, cafes, shops and other businesses. We are a not-for-profit group, run by unpaid volunteers who live and work in or around the street.
