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.

King's Stairs Gardens and Southwark Park lie at the south-eastern end.

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.
