SteveHOST
The ward and city boundary is crossed halfway over by the Millennium Bridge.
SteveHOST
The ward is bounded by the wards of Castleburner to the west, Bredstreet to the north, Vintry to the east and the London Borough of Southwark to the west across the river Queenhithe is one of 25 wards in the City of London, each electing an Alderman to the Court of Aldermen, the Commoners to the Court of Common Council, and to the City of London Corporation.
SteveHOST
Only Freeman and the City of London are eligible to stand for election.
SteveHOST
Queenhithe returns an Alderman and two Common Councilmen to the Corporation of London.
Doug CollinsHOST
Yep.
Tracy CollinsHOST
South Bank, Bankside, Southwark, and Waterloo.
Tracy CollinsHOST
Yeah.
Tracy CollinsHOST
Now, this is a great area if you want to enjoy a stroll in the evening because you've got that lovely riverside path running down past the London Eye, the Globe, Tate Modern.
Stephen GregoryCORRESPONDENT
the Lib Dems took every single seat.
Stephen GregoryCORRESPONDENT
Uh, the Lib Dems are now in coalition with the Greens in both Lambeth and Southwark, running those councils.
Sarah OlneyGUEST
That's right.
Sarah OlneyGUEST
Yeah
Sarah OlneyGUEST
But that's, that I think is the interesting challenge that we, w- you know, all of the mayoral campaigns will have, but, you know, how can we do that specifically for the Liberal Democrats in London?
Stephen GregoryCORRESPONDENT
Interesting.
Stephen GregoryCORRESPONDENT
And so I mentioned, uh, Lambeth and Southwark.
Sarah OlneyGUEST
Yes.
Dirty SouthHOST
Okay.
Dulwich RaiderHOST
The Dover Castle in Borough-
Dirty SouthHOST
Mm
Dulwich RaiderHOST
... is closing its doors for the last time next month.
Andy HughesHOST
In the last five years, there's been 34 murders here, more than any other borough in the capital.
Andy HughesHOST
And this year, it's got even worse, with 11 murders in Lambeth and Southwark in just eight months.
Andy HughesHOST
Most of them are believed to be linked to gangs.
Andy HughesHOST
I've been given exclusive access to one of the Met's largest gang operations in this area.
15 MINS LATER
speaker_20ADVERTISER
Grainger, for the ones who get it done.
Andy HughesHOST
It's really rare to get access like this, especially when police are in the middle of a very high profile investigation.
Andy HughesHOST
There has been tit for tat killings in the last year in the area of Clapham, Brixton, West Norwood and Southwark.
Andy HughesHOST
And this is because all of these different gangs, and there's a number of them, there's numerous, they have been fighting.
Jacqueline RidingGUEST
... via Kennington and Lambeth proper.
Jacqueline RidingGUEST
And then, um, um, s- just across to the right, you've got the, um, Borough of Southwark, and so it's Bermondsey, you know, in the north, Southwark itself, and then down through Elephant and Castle to Walworth, which is the part of this bit of London that Chaplin was born in 1889.
Maddy PellingHOST
Mm.
Anthony DelaneyHOST
That's very interesting actually because when I read the book, one of the things that stood out to me was the sense of community and neighborhood-
Jacqueline RidingGUEST
It's little cottages and sort of Georgian houses and things like that, which is true.
Jacqueline RidingGUEST
But increasingly, it was also a place where there was manufactory too 'cause, of course, anywhere that's next to the river has easy access to barges and things to carry things to and fro.
Jacqueline RidingGUEST
And so the whole of the coast, as it were, or the, the edge of the river, which is now embanked, largely embanked, but from, let's say, Vauxhall Bridge north and then around to, you know, Waterloo Southwark, Bermondsey.
Jacqueline RidingGUEST
You've got manufactories, and in the book I point out the fact that everyone thinks of the dark satanic mills of, uh, William Blake's imaginings is the Midlands of England.
Andrew TuckHOST
One London is a £1 billion project planned for the City of London, an area also referred to as the Square Mile, where many of the UK capital's skyscrapers already reside.
Andrew TuckHOST
The tower is set to complete in 2033, and it will be the tallest in the Square Mile and the joint tallest in Western Europe, equaling the height of The Shard in London's Southwark area.
Andrew TuckHOST
It'll also be uniquely amenity-rich and only five minutes from two major transport hubs, Bank Station and Liverpool Street station.
Andrew TuckHOST
Well, I'm joined now by two of the names behind this mammoth project, Eric Parry and David Kabbe.
