Part of the Bermondsey Spa development, the curved building in this view includes a health centre. Bermondsey Spa is a major housing development in the area between the London-Greenwich Railway line and Jamaica Road, in the early years of the 21st century.

The terraced housing that occupied most of the site was cleared by the 1950s.

Old Jamaica Road originated as Prospect Row in the late eighteenth century.

It then was renamed to Jamaica Road until the 1960s when Jamaica Road was realigned and became a dual carriageway. Old Jamaica Road was formed out of its previous alignment.
