map of lines around the approaches to
London Bridge, showing the original position of South Bermondsey station The original station was situated to the north-west of South Bermondsey Junction, on the northern side of Rotherhithe New Road, very close to the now-closed
Southwark Park railway station. It opened on 13 August 1866 with the South London Line, and was originally named
Rotherhithe. On 1 December 1869 it was renamed
South Bermondsey;
Rotherhithe railway station less than a mile away opened six days later. The original station closed on 17 June 1928, when the present station, situated south of South Bermondsey Junction, took its place. The 1928 station is on an embankment, and its platforms and buildings are of wooden construction; the current passenger access to the station from Rotherhithe New Road and Ilderton Road is by a footpath partly constructed on the embankment previously occupied by the line to Bricklayers Arms and Willow Walk Goods Depots. In 1993, football club
Millwall opened their ground
The Den adjacent to the station. A direct footpath was built from the station to the North Stand (away section) of the ground, this is used on match days only. ==Accidents & Incidents==
