Great Dover Street is in Southwark, south London, England. At the northwest end is the Borough tube station on Borough High Street and Long Lane. Continuing across the street is Marshalsea Road. At the southeast end is the Bricklayers' Arms roundabout and flyover.
The road is designated the A2 and this continues south-east as the Old Kent Road.
The London Underground Borough tube station of the Bank branch of the Northern Line is located at the north end.
For several decades, Great Dover Street has been the site of mainly council housing; however, as south of the river living has become more popular, council houses have been replaced by more expensive condominium units. The street is home to two large university student accommodation halls: Great Dover Street Apartments, a halls of Residence belonging to King's College London and the London School of Economics' Sidney Webb house.
The street has a variety of shops and pubs, such as The Roebuck and Dover Castle, but is mainly residential, with a high student population. It is served by the 21 and N21 buses.
