Area informationLondon’s proud dock area, rival to The City as a new financial district
London was built on its river trade and for centuries masted galleons sailed up the River Thames to deposit their silks, spices, coffee and tea in the city wharves of Rotherhithe. When business boomed with the British Empire, the original wharves no longer did the job. So The Docklands were born a mile to the east, and on completion in 1802, the purpose-built West India Docks were the envy of the world.
Redeveloped in the 1980s as a rival business district to The City, the Docklands are now booming with the ExCel Exhibition and Conference Centre in the Royal Victoria Dock, easy access to London City Airport, the tallest building in Britain (the 800-foot, pyramid-topped Canary Wharf Tower) and Foster’s award-winning Jubilee line tube station.
Facing Canary Wharf across the Thames, Rotherhithe (the older docks area) is a fascinating mixture of past and present with luxury riverside apartments separated by medieval smugglers’ inns (the Angel and the Mayflower).
Discover them on foot via the Thames Path which stretches from Hilton Docklands to the Tower of London. At Butler's Wharf, watch Tower Bridge open from the terrace of the Conran restaurant, Pont de la Tour, and feed your mind at the Design Museum next door.
