Anchor Terrace

Anchor Terrace is a large symmetrical building on the east side of Southwark Bridge Road in London, situated very close to the River Thames.

It was built in 1834,[1] and its original inhabitants were senior employees of the nearby Anchor Brewery, Southwark, which was then owned by Barclay Perkins & Co. Ltd.

It originally comprised eight residences, and above the door to the centre of the building are written the words "Anchor Terrace".

[2] It was discovered that Anchor Terrace stands on the site of the original Globe Theatre after part of the foundations were found underneath the car park to its rear.

However, as Anchor Terrace itself is a grade II listed building,[3] there may never be a full excavation of the site.
