  • In this most spiffing walk around Bermondsey Joolz goes to the Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret. A garret is a liveable space in an attic and this one was discovered above this church having been sealed up in the 19th century. You can attend a demonstration of how the operating theatre worked and see all the wonderful medical devices.
    Nearby is Guy's Hospital with an alcove one belonging to the medieval London Bridge, containing a statue of John Keats.
    The we go up to Bermondsey Street with all its cafes and the surrounding area with its old leather factories and tanneries.
    If you are feeling hungry you can also go up the Maltby Street Market.
    Music - The January Man by Dave Goulder, performed by Terry St. Clair

    I have a special affinity to Bermondsey. My paternal great great great grandfather was a Waterman, as was his son after him. After that my great grandfather did an apprentice as a Waterman, but he followed another clerical profession. He married into a family who were Tanners in Bermondsey. I have walked around here, but great to have some more information on the area. My great great great grandfather was married and buried at St Mary Magdalen.

    My beautiful Bermondsey. I'd give anything to go there again. Decades of the Dibley family a family that goes back to 1485 shared plenty of life together. My father and his brothers & sisters went to Arthur's Mission fo Sunday school. They all went to Snowsfields school. They all went to war and came home again. I went to school inTooley Street. The day we left we all threw our hats over London Bridge and into the Thames. I qualified as a registered nurse & worked at Guy's hospital, but I also did a paper round there when I was 14. My father's family lived in Ship & Mermaid Row.Thank you for this wonderful tour.

    Hello over there. I'm watching this on my midnight shift as an EMS Dispatcher, just North of Pittsburgh. I'm stunned at how many people are out and about. Are your businesses and Pubs still open?? No bars allowed open to the public in the States. .. not sure what the drinkers are doing. Needless to say,. It's pretty dull on this side, unless you're brave enough to venture into Walmart. I am not!! Thank you for keeping me company during my, rather scary, shifts! I, very much, appreciate vicariously walking through London with you. Even with the rain, it looks amazing and it's's the only way I'm going to be traveling for quite some time. Your knowledge of the city is beyond brilliant and I am so grateful.

    A company called John Edgington in Old Kent Road Bermondsey made hangman's ropes for the Home Office, also supplied an exported.
    My father went there in he late 60s to buy ropes for his company truck and actually saw the hangman's ropes.
    The man he spoke to said even though the last hanging took place on 13th August 1964 they still made them for other commonwealth countries

    I was born in Guys Hospital and grew up in Bermondsey, spending the first 20 years of my life there in the late 60’s through to the mid 80’s. Sadly the Bermondsey I knew is long gone and also the people. Shame you didn’t venture further into Bermondsey and ‘The Blue’ in Southwark Park Road where I lived. It used to be a great place to live, all the different smells from the Sarsons vinegar factory to the biscuit factory, Peek Freans. Great times back then. I had a pint in the Horseshoe last summer which is around the corner from Snowsfields where my Dad was born. He also worked in Tooley Street which is unrecognisable now to how it used to be.

Whenever I had out of town clients arrive in The City to look for, or purchase, a property from my company, I would at some point take them on an impromptu tour of the city, while explaining some of it's history.

    Stay safe , my friend. This area is just one mile South of Central and The City Of London and it's fascinating because alongside each other in the same street you will find old 17th Century Buildings intact , next to Ultra Modern new developments next to recent individual Coffee Shops next to a social housing block ( like @ 4' 38' on the other side of The Kings Arms Pub ). Typical of London all over in it's 46,000 streets other than the Suburbs where there is a great similarity of buildings. Just a little bit further on was MILLWALL Football Club in South Bermondsey :)

    My Great-Grandfather, George Watson Blackie, was born in Bermondsey and worked as a Leather Dresser. He was living in Rephidem Street at the time of the 1911 census.

    I grew up at the elephant during the 1960s. Outside our window was a tannery which we used to climb down into on the weekend's. I think we called it "drop down monkey". I never knew the area up to Southwark bridge road,Harper road, and gaol park was known for Tanner's.
    Thank you for showing the bad side of the track's where the urchin's played.👍🌞

      Bermondsey was also known as the larder of London with so many food factoris. This was all so tear jerking but wonderful to see. Thank you so much.

    Guinnesses built a lot of social housing in dublin, similar to that shown in London. Distinctive red brick buildings. Much better in appearance than the modern rubbish.

      I collected money as a kid with one of Britain's first Caribbean men to come to Britain. He was a bodyguard to Edward the VII and Mrs Simpson. He lived in the Guinness trust housing as did my uncle. Living in poverty, but such a generous heart. As many Bermondsey people had we collected pennies to send to The Winston Churchill Fund to help poor children to get an Education.

    I went to the Old Operating Theatre a good few years ago when it was open for free as part of the Open House weekend. I especially remember it because as I was walking to London Bridge I went past the Monument and I saw there were people at the top. I didn't know at the time that you could go up it, so I thought I would have a go.
    Well I went up it no problem and coming down was even easier, the problem came as I carried on to visit the Old Operating Theatre. I walked on and then had to stop at a pelican crossing and my legs just seized up with cramp, I thought that I wasn't going to be able to carry on, luckily after a few minutes the cramp went and I was able to carry on after all.
