Until the 19th century, Södermalm was mainly a farmland to support Stockholm. As the railway was built in 1860, Södermalm became an industrial district with homes for the working class. As the industries were displaced by offices in the 20th century, the island began to gentrify, and now has some of the most fashionable neighbourhoods in Stockholm.
In the 21st century, Södermalm gained recognition from the ''[[Millennium Tour|Millennium series by Stieg Larsson]]'', with many of the locations of the books and film open for visitors, in particular [[Södermalm heights tour|the northern waterfront ridge, "Söders höjder"]], where many 18th and 19th century buildings remain. At times called "Stockholm's [[Montmartre]]", the island has also earned a reputation of "hipness", making [http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/e4f47a04-6972-11e3-89ce-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2poUbQLxB Financial Times' top list of destinations for 2014] and [http://www.vogue.com/slideshow/1080625/fifteen-coolest-street-style-neighborhoods/ third place on Vogue's list of the world's coolest neighbourhoods]{{Dead link|date=January 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}.
'''[http://www.hammarbysjostad.se/?lang=en Hammarby Sjöstad]''' is formally a part of Södermalm, the only bit not on the main island. Since the late 1990s, there has been construction on the former docks and small industrial estates after extensive cleanup. The Sjöstad ("city on the lake") was planned from the outset to be a model community for sustainable living and design, including many innovative features in its infrastructure and architecture that limit the quarter's impact on the environment and provide for a better quality of life; see also [[Stockholm environmentalist tour]].

Over the centuries, it has been used as a courthouse, a jail, an anatomic theatre, and a school. Since 1942 it is a museum, displaying Stockholm's history from 1523 to present day, with special attention to construction and architecture, and activities for children. The museum organizes walking tours.

| content=One of the main features of the Liljeholmen borough is this lake, which allows [[water sports|swimming]] at summertime and [[ice-skating]] in the winter. The 2½-km walk around the lake is magnificent. At the half-grass half-sand beach, the water temperatures are quite high in the summers, when many are bathing in the safe, clear water. If you are visiting in winter, don't miss the hill about half way through the walk which allows [[sledding]], when the snow is thick. At summer, you can also do some [[fishing]] with the locals, if you ask the fishing club for permission. There are two ice-cream shops, one at the beach and one at the entrance of the lake. A small café serving hot food is located about a quarter of the way round the lake.

| content=Located just south of Södermalm, and claiming to be the world's largest hemispheric building with 110 metres across, the Globe has been one of the most eye-catching features of the Stockholm skyline since its inauguration in 1989. It was officially renamed in memory of late Swedish superstar DJ Avicii in 2021, but locals still generally call it Globen. It is frequently used for ice hockey games but also for other sporting events, as well as concerts and galas. The Globe also represents the Sun in the [[Sweden Solar System]]; Mercury is at Stockholms Stadsmuseum, Venus and Earth on [[Östermalm]], and the outer planets are north of Stockholm.

The area has two other arenas: the old-fashioned '''Hovet''', and the 30,000-seat '''Tele2 Arena'''.
