3About Chaucer
Chaucer sits in central Southwark between the Thames and Elephant & Castle, easily reached via the A3 north-south route and A201/A202 east-west connections. Most journeys are short local trips under 10km to the City and Westminster, though the nearby A2 provides longer routes to Canterbury. With over 11,700 EV chargers nearby and excellent transport links at London Bridge station, it's well-connected for both drivers and commuters. The district is directly named after Geoffrey Chaucer, who lived locally while serving as Clerk of the King's Works in the 14th century.
