context_page_description: South Bermondsey railway station is on the South London Line, serving the district of South Bermondsey in the London Borough of Southwark. It is 1 mile 63 chains down the line from London Bridge; the following station on the line is Queens Road Peckham.
  It is managed by Southern, which also operates all the trains that call.
context_section_description: The original station was situated to the north-west of South Bermondsey Junction, on the northern side of Rotherhithe New Road. It opened on 13 August 1866 with the South London Line, and was originally named Rotherhithe; it was renamed South Bermondsey on 1 December 1869. It closed on 17 June 1928, when the present station, situated south of South Bermondsey Junction, took its place.
  The 1928 station is on an embankment, and its platforms and buildings are of wooden construction; the current passenger access to the station from Rotherhithe New Road and Ilderton Road is by a footpath partly constructed on the embankment previously occupied by the line to Bricklayers Arms and Willow Walk Goods Depots. In 1993, football club Millwall opened their ground The Den adjacent to the station. A direct footpath was built from the station to the North Stand (away section) of the ground, this is used on match days only. Southern trains from London Bridge to London Victoria via Denmark Hill called at South Bermondsey until December 2012 when the new London Overground service started from Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction.
