Olympic torch relay in Southwark
Sunday 8 July 2012 2.01pm
The torch will also pass through SE1 on the 27 July, the final stretch. Strangely they haven't specified the route street by street. Does anyone know anything about that?

On 27 July the torch will be on the river rather than the streets. The details haven't been announced yet but there are strong hints it will be carried on the Gloriana royal row barge downriver to Tower Bridge.

Many thanks, James.

Certainly looks like it's coming down the river to Tower Bridge on 27 July, according to the route tracker.

Southwark's torch relay map is a bit dodgy:

They've got the artwork for Bricklayers Arms and Burgess Park the wrong way round for starters.

Lord, Southwark Council are useless. The map is nonsense. Burgess Park and Bricklayers are the wrong way round as you say... but so are Tower Bridge and the Mayor's building. Walworth and Camberwell are in the wrong place. And the Elephant & Castle picture is just below Union Street.

Bit of a worry if the communications department can't get it right.

The flame arrives at Tower Bridge at 12.45 on Friday 27 July:
