Queenhithe

About

Queenhithe ward is a small area on the north bank of the River Thames, stretching from Southwark Bridge to just beyond Queenhithe dock itself. Its boundaries are primarily defined by Upper Thames Street and the riverfront. The ward is largely commercial, containing modern office buildings alongside historic lanes like Broken Wharf and a section of the ancient city wall.

The area's history is tied to its namesake, Queenhithe, one of London's oldest docks. This inlet served as a major medieval port for unloading grain and other goods. Today, a mosaic on the nearby wall details this trading history. The ward is also home to the church of St Benet Paul's Wharf, a notable post-Great Fire building.
