| Rinse FM started around 1994 as a pirate station operating in and around east London but was awarded a Community Radio licence in June 2010. Transmissions from the Bermondsey site started on 21 January 2011. |
| Maydew House is a 26-storey block (24 floors residential) adjacent to Southwark Park. |
| Satellite television presumably was not provided through the distribution system. As usual the broadcast installation isn't visible when close to the building... |
| ...but moving away we see a pair of dipoles with reflectors on a lattice mast. |
| Slant polarisation is used, with maximum ERP on bearing 175 |
| From further away it's apparent the guyed lattice tower is a fairly significant structure. Ofcom has the antenna height as 89 m above ground. The site itself is only at 3 m above sea level. |
| Viewed from Southwark Park. As of 2016 the building is about to undergo a major refurbishment with the possibility of additional floors being added - if this proceeds Rinse FM will presumably have to re-locate, at least temporarily. |
