Shad Thames, SE1

Shad Thames is a picturesque and historic riverside street next to Tower Bridge in south London, UK, and is also an informal name for the surrounding area.

The name is a corruption of St John at Thames, a reference to the Knights Templar of the Order of St John who owned land locally.

The street Shad Thames has Tower Bridge at its west end, and runs along the south side of the River Thames, set back behind a row of converted warehouses; it then takes a 90 degree turn south along St Saviour's Dock, sometimes causing navigational problems for people unfamiliar with the area. The street is partly cobbled, complementing the characterful brickwork of its buildings.

The nearest stations are Tower Hill (District and Circle lines) and London Bridge (Jubilee, Northern and national rail), each about 10–15 minutes' walk away. From either station the walk is extremely scenic, particularly at night, with views of many landmarks such as the new City Hall, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

The best route from London Bridge station is to cross Tooley Street, walk left a short distance along the smaller section that forks off the main street and turn right down an alley called St Olaf's Stair (marked at night by green runway lights in the pavement). This takes you to a riverside path called Queen's Walk; turn right (eastwards) along this, passing Hay's Galleria, HMS Belfast, More London, City Hall, and under Tower Bridge to reach Shad Thames. Alternatively, from Tower Hill station, walk past the Tower of London and cross Tower Bridge, then take the steps just after the final arch of the bridge down to Shad Thames.

There is a wide variety of river-going traffic next to Shad Thames. It is part of the particularly deep section of river called the Pool of London, which even ships can navigate. So from time to time even full-size cruise ships or naval vessels will stop next to Shad Thames, usually for a day or so, often then proceeding through Tower Bridge and a short distance further west (though as they cannot get under the next bridge, London Bridge, they have to come back again). Police boats and speedboats go past frequently, as do passenger boats (such as the Damien Hirst-decorated 'Tate to Tate' boat), and leisure boats from St Katharine Docks on the opposite side of the river from Shad Thames.
