Acorn Walk, SE16

Acorn Walk is named after a former area of the Surrey Commercial dock system.

The Mayflower was previously used for grain storage. Now one of South London’s most beautiful pubs, the Mayflower has a traditional pub on the main floor with dining on the second floor.

There was once a dock called the Acorn Pond which ran south from a point nearby. A cargo handling area was known as Acorn Yard.

Keeping the acorn theme, a small row of houses called Acorn Place lay across the north side of Trinity Churchyard.
