Southwark ‘Did you know?’

• The borough of Southwark forms part of inner London and is connected by bridges across the River Thames to the City of London.

• There is evidence that Southwark was the residence of Romans and Anglo Saxons, who were original settlers, but the name Southwark dates from the 9^th century.
• The borough is home to The Shard, Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Borough Market, Dulwich Picture Gallery, the Imperial War Museum and Burgess Park, Southwark’s largest green space.

• Southwark’s coat of arms is an amalgam of elements of the three constituent Metropolitan Boroughs arms (Southwark, Camberwell and Bermondsey). On the left is an Elizabethan player dressed to play Hamlet, indicating the theatrical heritage of the area, while the youth on the right is the Esquire from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.

• Southwark considers itself to be one of the greenest boroughs in London, with its 245 hectares of public parkland, ranging from the large areas around Dulwich and Southwark Park in Rotherhithe to sports grounds and squares.
