| About Millwall |
| Location |
Millwall is an area in London, on the western side of the Isle of Dogs, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It lies to the south of the developments at West India Docks, including Canary Wharf.

| History |
Originally known as Marshwall, its name derives from the large number of windmills built on the river wall, in the 19th century. Corn was brought along the River Thames to be ground into flour here, before being delivered to bakers who kneaded the dough.
|
| Football |
Millwall is arguably most famous for its football club, Millwall F.C., founded in 1885 as "Millwall Rovers" and nicknamed "The Dockers", (changed to "The Lions" in 1900) which moved south of the river to New Cross in 1910, after occupying no fewer than four separate grounds in the 25 years since its formation as a football club.
They now play in Bermondsey.
