I'm guessing this is the right location. This 18th century map shows the Queenhithe ward http://www.londonancestor.com/maps/map-queenhit... which is centered on Thames Street. Maybe it is the same as the Thames Street pointed to by the Streetmap link above.

Queenhithe and some of the streets from the 18th Century map (above) still exist by the north side of Southwark Bridge.

Queenhithe--or Queenhive, as it was corruptly called by the Elizabethan dramatists--was originally, according to Stow, called "Edred's Hythe," or bank, from some Saxon owner of that part of Thames Street.
