About

St Giles ward occupies a central portion of the London Borough of Southwark, situated on the historic south bank of the River Thames. The area is defined by Borough High Street to the west and the railway lines into London Bridge station to the east. Its northern boundary runs along the riverfront, encompassing a segment of the Thames Path. This location places it directly opposite the City of London, connected by several major bridges.
