Docklands is one of the most exciting new tourist attractions in London. A wealth of beautiful historic warehouses, old riverside pubs and impressive new developments enchant the wandering visitor. Whether you intend to find out about the glorious history of the area, or whether the sheer scale of new developments such as the Canary Wharf fascinates you, Docklands is the place of discovery.
The Port of London dates back two thousand years. By the 19th century it was the largest in the world. Most of the docks were concentrated along a 15-kilometre stretch of the River Thames downstream from London Bridge. With the arrival of container ships and other deeper-draughted vessels in the late 1960s these docks gradually became obsolete and by 1982 all the six major dock complexes had closed. Soon after, redevelopment of this vast area of east London got under way and is still in progress.
