We are now looking for names for the blocks, and we would like to hear your preferences from the shortlist we have drawn up.

 
Manze Court / House The Manze family have run Eel, pie and mash shops in the area since 1902, including the one on Tower Bridge Road
Sir Winton Court / House Sir Nicholas Winton saved more than 600 Jewish children from the Nazis in 1938
Ada Broughton Court / House Ada Broughton was a British temperance campaigner, suffragette organiser and Labour councillor and alderman in Bermondsey in the 1920s and 30s
Elizabeth Burgwin Court / House Headteacher at Orange Street School in Borough, where she pioneered free school meals in the 1880s. She also helped found the Peckham orphanage and developed 'special schooling' within a mainstream setting

You can read more about all these remarkable people in the document attached below.

In looking for names for places in Southwark we have a number of considerations, including:

  • that there is a strong connection to Southwark or South East London
  • representative of our diverse community, in line with the principles of Southwark Stands Together, but also recognising that women have historically been under-represented
  • the positive impact of the named individual
  • that the person is no longer alive

Bearing this in mind, please use the form below to tell us which of the above you would like to see as the name(s) of the new blocks.
