About

Surrey Docks ward encompasses a historic docklands area on the Rotherhithe peninsula, defined by its extensive water basins and modern residential developments. The landscape is characterised by converted warehouses, new apartment complexes, and the large freshwater Surrey Water lake. The area's industrial past is evident in the preserved timber yards and the names of its streets and basins.

A key feature is the ecological reserve at Russia Dock Woodland, a forest created on a filled-in dock. The area is functional, with local shops and cafes centred around Deal Porters Way and the Surrey Quays Leisure Park. It is a residential district with pedestrian and cycle routes following the old dock edges, connecting to the Thames Path.
