King George V Dock, Maritime dock in Royal Docks, London, England
The King George V Dock spans 64 acres of water with direct access to the River Thames through a dedicated lock and bascule bridge.
The Port of London Authority started construction in 1912, but the First World War delayed completion until 1921, marking the final upstream enclosed dock in London.
The dock supported the evolution of maritime commerce in London, handling major vessels like the RMS Mauretania during the peak of commercial shipping activities.
London City Airport operates on the northern bank of the dock, while the King George V station on the Docklands Light Railway provides public transportation access.
The dock transformed from a commercial shipping facility to support London City Airport, featuring a runway that opened in 1987 above the former maritime infrastructure.
