Surrey Docks Stadium

The Surrey Docks Stadium in Rotherhithe, South East London, is the traditional home of Fisher Athletic F.C.. The club are currently playing at Champion Hill, home of local rivals Dulwich Hamlet.

Nestling beneath the shadow of Canary Wharf, it is located in the heart of South London’s affluent Docklands area, just down the road from the Surrey Quays shopping mall and a short distance from Millwall’s New Den Stadium in nearby Bermondsey. In fact, on match days when The Lions are at home, the chants from down the road are said to clearly pervade the atmosphere at Fisher’s home. (1)
