Rotherhithe and Wapping were historically important districts in the east of London, situated on the banks of the Thames. The areas were important hubs for shipping and maritime trade and were home to a mix of working-class and middle-class people.

In Rotherhithe, the Albion Dock and Canada Dock were significant landmarks, while Wapping was home to the Deptford Station and the Peak Frean & Co. Biscuit Manufactory. The Old Kent Road, which runs through both areas, was a major thoroughfare connecting London with the south of England.

Southwark Park was a popular leisure destination for people in the area, while the St. Olave's Union Infirmary and Deptford Hospital provided medical care to the local community. The Licensed Victuallers Asylum, located in nearby nearby Peckham, was a charitable institution that supported retired members of the licensed trade.
