Bermondsey Square

The Abbey grounds were the original site of Bermondsey Market, which still takes place weekly in the Square.

The area has subsequently undergone redevelopment and Bermondsey Square now contains apartments, offices, a boutique hotel, restaurants, and a contemporary art gallery.

Long Lane, leading northwest to Borough High Street, linked the Abbey with St George the Martyr church.

At the entrance of the square, between the King John's Head public house and an oil shop, was the Abbey's gatehouse, which was removed in the early 19th century.

Between the entrance to the Long Walk and a salt warehouse stood the Mansion House, built using material taken from the Abbey.
