Description BBC Constituency Profile:

Situated to the south of the City of London is the seat of Bermondsey and Old Southwark. One of the poorest constituencies in London, it stretches from Limehouse Reach, past Surrey and Rotherhithe docks to London Bridge station and on to Waterloo Bridge. It is also home to some of London's cultural landmarks: the Globe Theatre, Southwark Cathedral, the Tate Modern, the Imperial War Museum and The Shard - a 72-storey skyscraper and western Europe's tallest building.

The growth of the South Bank and the riverside walk has enabled the area to generate extra income. Ethnically diverse, 58.5% of the population is white, while 20.1% are black, 12.1% Asian/Asian British and 5.7% mixed/multi ethnic groups, according to ONS 2011 Census figures for England and Wales.

In 2010, Liberal Democrat Simon Hughes - MP since 1983 - held the seat with 48.4% of the vote; Labour got 29.2%, Conservatives 17.1% and BNP 3.1%.
