Docklands Map 2
This is a photograph of a map at the Science Museum in London.
It's all a bit different now! Western dock is filled in and flats are built on it, with News International (soon to be gone) where the warehouses were to the north. Tobacco dock is partially filled in, Eastern dock is a park / woodland. Shadwell basin's still there, with houses built around three sides where the warehouses once stood. Regents Canal Dock, now known as Limehouse Basin, is also still there and is used as a marina. Most of the Surrey Docks were filled in, though Greenland Dock survives.
The warehouse number 10, south of Tobacco Dock, is (I think) 21 Wapping Lane and is still there (see my other Docklands photos), but not for long. Ballymore are planning to turn it into a large residential development. The warehouses north of Tobacco Dock were converted into a shopping centre in the 80s, but it never really took off and is almost empty now, bar a single sandwich shop.
