DescriptionCanals of Wapping - geograph.org.uk - 221766.jpg
English: Canals of Wapping. It is hard to imagine that just over 30 years ago, this area was one huge inland dock. The London Dock at Wapping was completed in 1805 to serve the growing trade coming into London. By the 1960s the docks were almost derelict so the London Docklands Development Corporation drained the area and built a huge estate of mixed housing. The canals that remain are a link with the past but this is now a quiet residential area where once it was the heart of dockland.
