Rotherhithe Street is a road in the London Borough of Southwark on the Thames Path. At a length of around 1.5 miles (2.4 km), it is the longest street in London. Notable buildings on the street include the Grade II* listed Nelson House, St Mary's Church, Rotherhithe and Surrey Docks Farm.

Owing to the bending of the River Thames in the area,^[1] Rotherhithe Street is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long, making it the longest street in London.^[2][3][4] The road runs parallel to the River Thames,^[5] and comprises part of the Thames Path.^[2]

The street contains the 18th century Grade II* listed Nelson House, a Georgian house situated next to Nelson Dock.^[2][3] Nelson Dock is a dry dock, active from the 17th century until 1968,^[3] and now has the ship La Dame de Serk permanently moored.^[6] The Mayflower pub, a pub named after the Pilgrim Fathers' ship,^[1] and which claims to be the oldest London riverside pub, is situated on Rotherhithe Street,^[7] as is the city farm Surrey Docks Farm.^[6] Other significant buildings on the street include the Trinity Halls and Church, which were built in 1836,^[6] the former Rotherhithe fire station, which was active from 1906 until 1965 and has been converted to riverside flats,^[6] and the free entry Rotherhithe Heritage Museum.^[2][3] At one end of the street is St Mary's Church, Rotherhithe, where Prince Lee Boo is buried.^[3] There is also a Hilton hotel on Rotherhithe Street,^[3][6] and around 2 acres (8,100 m²) of former dockland near to the street has been converted into a nature park.^[1]

In 1868, a number of timber buildings on Rotherhithe Street including the White Lion pub were badly damaged by a fire.^[8] In 1893, two pubs on the street, The Three Compasses and Noah's Ark, were both put up for sale,^[9] and in 1900, a mill at 9-13 Rotherhithe Street was also put up for sale.^[10]

Towards one end of Rotherhithe Street is the Rotherhithe Tunnel, which goes under the Thames and links Rotherhithe with Wapping.^[3] Thames Clippers operate a ferry between Rotherhithe Street and Canary Wharf.^[11] In 2020, plans were announced for a new Transport for London owned electric ferry service between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf, replacing previous plans for a bridge between the two areas.^[11][12] The street is planned to become part of the Rotherhithe Cycleway.^[12]
