Chaucer

SE1 1 / SE1 3 / SE1 4 / SE1 6

The area around the Chaucer estate and the streets between Borough and Elephant & Castle. This is dense inner London living. Large council estates dominate, including some of the older walk-up blocks. The location is genuinely excellent for getting around, with Borough, Elephant, and London Bridge all close. It does not have its own centre or identity in the way that other parts of Southwark do, but it is practical and more affordable than the riverside.
