Greenland Dock at Rotherhithe dates from the end of the 17th century when it was created as the Howland Wet Dock. In the 18th century it became a centre of the whaling trade and was renamed Greenland Dock. It later became part of the Surrey Commercial Docks.

Portal to the past. Alderman Stairs, featured on John Rocque’s map of 1746, also known as Alderman Parsons Stairs & Lady Parsons Stairs, probably named after a previous owner and his wife. Connecting river to land, these steps once bustled with people & activity, now quiet, eerie & full of ghosts.
