Long Southwark formed the northern portion of the main thoroughfare in Southwark, which is now commonly referred to as High Steet or Borough High Street (H.E. Malden). Long Southwark ran southwards from London Bridge to St. George, Southwark, where it attached to Blackman Street (Stow 447). Brayley notes that the principal street [of Southwark] is the High a Street, forming a portion of the great road from London through Surrey, and running in a southwesterly direction from London Bridge to St. Margaret’ Hill, and thence to St. George’s Church (Brayley qtd. in Walford). Stow notes that Long Southwark was builded on both sides with divers Lanes and Allies(Stow 447). The five prisons found in Southwark were also located on this street (Stow 448).
