Wapping

Wapping is one of my favourite areas of London. Once a busy dock, when the docks closed much of the area became run-down. Today it is one of the richest parts of London, with the old wharfes now transformed into luxury flats, but unlike many areas of London, the transformation has taken place whilst retaining it's history. The old wharfes are now beautifully restored, and the narrow, winding cobbled streets give the area a lot of character.
