As you approach St. Mary Magdalene Church, look at the Time and Talents Settlement building, dated 1907, built in a Queen Anne revival style to blend with the older terraces.
This was a philanthropic organisation set up to entertain and educate Bermondsey’s factory girls, in keeping with the spirit of the age. Time and Talents is now based in Rotherhithe and is now a social club/education centre for elderly residents.
