Stadium
The club's traditional home was the 5,300-capacity Surrey Docks Stadium in Rotherhithe, in the London Borough of Southwark, but home games were played at the ground of Dulwich Hamlet while the Surrey Docks Stadium was redeveloped.
The Surrey Docks Stadium is located in the heart of South London's Docklands area, just down the road from the Surrey Quays shopping mall and a short distance from The New Den in nearby Bermondsey. The club had plans to redevelop the ground to bring it up to Football League standards by the start of the 2009–10 season. In November 2007 the club announced that it would prefer to move to a new 10,000-seat stadium on the site of the athletics track in Southwark Park, but that the rebuilding of Surrey Docks Stadium remained a possibility.
