1 Fulford Street
1 Fulford Street (known informally as the "Leaning Tower of Rotherhithe" and formerly 41 Rotherhithe Street) is a house in Rotherhithe, South London. A narrow, four-storey property, it now stands isolated in King's Stairs Gardens and is the only building on its street. It was originally enclosed by riverside warehouses and tenements. In the 1930s it was owned by the writers Arthur Calder-Marshall and Roger Roughton, the latter renting out the top floor to Jessica Mitford and Esmond Romilly for two years. The property survived the Blitz, which destroyed its neighbours to the west, to become an office for the firm of Braithwaite & Dean. In the 1960s London County Council was unsuccessful in purchasing the property but cleared most of those nearby to form the Gardens which connect the river to Southwark Park.
