Great Dover Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Great Dover Street is in Southwark, south London, England. At the north-west end is the Borough tube station on Borough High Street. Continuing across the street is Marshalsea Road. At the south-east end is the Bricklayer's Arms roundabout and flyover.
The road is designated the A2 and this continues south-east as the Old Kent Road.
For several decades, Great Dover Street has been the site of mainly council housing; however, as south of the river living has become more popular, council houses have been replaced by more expensive condominium units. The street is home to two large university student accommodation halls: The London School of Economics' Great Dover Street Residence and a King's College London residential hall.
The street has a variety of shops but is mainly residential, with a high student population. It is served by the 21 and N21 buses.
