London Docks, Historic port complex in Tower Hamlets, United Kingdom
The London Docks consist of multiple waterside basins stretching across eastern London, featuring preserved Victorian warehouses and maritime infrastructure along the Thames River.
Construction of the docks began in 1802 with the West India Docks, expanding through the nineteenth century to form one of the largest port systems in the world.
The docks created distinct working communities with specialized skills and traditions, developed through generations of dock workers managing cargo from worldwide trade routes.
The Docklands Light Railway provides direct access to the former port area, connecting visitors to multiple stations throughout the regenerated district.
The transformation from industrial port to modern district preserved numerous original dock features, including water channels, cranes, and warehouse buildings converted into apartments.
