Anchor Terrace, Georgian residential building in Southwark, England.
Anchor Terrace is a Georgian residential building that lines Southwark Bridge Road with a symmetrical facade and eight separate units. The structure displays characteristic period details and maintains a unified classical appearance across its frontage.
The building dates to 1834 when it served as housing for senior staff of the nearby Anchor Brewery operated by Barclay Perkins & Co Ltd. It later functioned as brewery offices before being converted into residential apartments in the late 1990s.
The terrace occupies a location with deep theatrical roots that shaped the neighborhood's character. Visitors walking here are actually standing where one of London's most famous playhouses once stood.
The building holds Grade II listed status, meaning alterations require official permission to protect its original features. This designation helps maintain the area's historical character and architectural integrity.
The terrace sits on foundations directly beneath the original Globe Theatre, with archaeological remains discovered during excavations under the rear car park. This connection places the building at the heart of Shakespeare's theatrical legacy.
