 Wrong Side of the River: London's disreputable South Bank in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Jessica A. Browner
13 Certainly, Southwark's reputation as a radical suburb was not enhanced by the memory of the part it could and did play with its vital command of the Bridgehead in times of civil disorder.
Southwark, however, was by the later seventeenth century even more densely populated than the sprawling suburbs of East London.
In spite of these efforts, however, Southwark remained a predominantly poor and crowded area, and for this reason proved to be an ideal breeding ground for plague during the outbreaks of 1577-78, 1603, 1625, 1635, 1636-37, and 1641.

 Southwark, Roman waterfront buildings and industry, assessment and analysis
