The eastern Rotherhithe, also known as Canada Water, is a modern area with weird buildings, parks and The Finnish church for all you Finns. There's also a gigantic Tesco near the Canada Water Station. There are also some large water basins that used to be busy and even more plentiful when London docks were still active. The western part of Rotherhithe on the other hand is quite a beautiful area with old pubs, parks and churches. It's already a bit further away from the centre and that means less crowds.
