The name derives from St Olave's Street, after the Church of St Olave.[1] For much of its history the street has been lined with warehouses, and in 1861 Scovell's warehouse caught fire, resulting in the largest peacetime fire in the Port of London.[2]
Jamaica Road
Tooley Street becomes Jamaica Road at Shad Thames. A little over halfway down (from the Tower Bridge end) lies Bermondsey Underground station, which is served by the Jubilee line. A thoroughfare of shops follows, and the road continues on until Culling Circus roundabout, where it turns roughly 90 degrees south towards Deptford and becomes Lower Road. Brunel Road and the Rotherhithe Tunnel also meet at this junction. King's Stairs Gardens and Southwark Park lie at the south-eastern end.
Lower Road
Lower Road runs for roughly 1 mile (1.6 km), past Surrey Quays shopping centre until it reaches Deptford, where it becomes Evelyn Street. Southwark Park runs the length of Lower Road, to the west.
Evelyn Street
Named after diarist John Evelyn, the street runs from the Plough Way junction south to the junction with Deptford Church Street. There is both a McDonald's and a KFC along this stretch.
