Route information
This 7k guided running tour delves into the forgotten history of Bermondsey's working women. Beginning at Southwark Gateway Needle, by London Bridge Station, and ending at Bermondsey Station, this tour explores the events of the 1911 strike, where 14,000 female factory workers rallied to protest their working conditions and poor pay.
Although there are few statues and monuments to commemorate these women, the tour will take you round the buildings and places that were an integral part of their movement, including Hartley's Jam, Cross & Blackwell, Pink's Jam and Peak Frearn.
