Notable residents[edit]

In creating this article from the generic list that existed earlier, I did not include people who merely attended one of the colleges/universities in the area or have only worked in offices in this borough. Neither of those two quite makes them one of the "people from Southwark". For example, Bill Clinton studied at Oxford Univesity, but he won't be considered a representative/resident of Oxford. Similarly, someone like Hugh Grant, who works often in the US but has never owned/rented a home or lived substantially there, would not be associated with an American city/state. If you have objections to this idea, please state your opinion here. Busillis (talk) 05:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

David Haye should be included in this page. He was born and grew up in Bermondsey. 86.173.2.89 (talk) 03:58, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
