St Saviour's Dock
Charles Dickens set portions of his novel Oliver Twist in this area, at a time when it was an area of notorious poverty known as Jacob's Island. He set Bill Sikes's den in buildings adjacent to St Saviour's Dock. It is here that Sikes falls from a roof and dies in the mud, probably of St Saviour's Dock.

St. Saviours Dock
Lined with the wharves that handled London's tea, coffee and spice trade, St. Saviours Dock is the inlet where the subterranean River Neckinger joins the Thames, though I couldn't see exactly where (probably beneath my feet). The dock was given its name by Cluniac Monks from Bermondsey Abbey. The Thames, visible between the buildings in the distance, is tidal and water in the dock rises by around 4 metres and, when there is a tidal surge, comes very close to the lower windows of the wharves.

St Saviour's Dock
A few hundred metres of tidal mud is all that remains of one of the most lost of London's lost rivers, the Neckinger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Neckinger
Most of the river is now diverted into sewers and only storm flow ever discharges here. The old warehouses are converted into apartments whose residents might not recognise the Morning Chronicle's description of the locality in 1849 as "The very capital of cholera" and "The Venice of drains". In Dickens' novel, Oliver Twist a branch of the Neckinger is given the name Folly Ditch and is the place where the book's Bill Sikes meets his death.
