The Wapping Project, Docklands, London. Formerly a hydraulic power station (built in 1892), it was de-commissioned in 1977, and re-opened as an arts venue incorporating a restaurant in 1998.
Despite the Docklands having high levels of redevelopment, there are still some areas which are still waiting to be redeveloped, such as this land on the corner of Pennington Street and Chigwell Hill, with a dumped pram.

Hermitage Community Moorings on the Thames at Wapping. A relatively new floating London co-operative community with views that would be the envy of a multi-million pound penthouse.
Open House London 2014 listing:
An exciting new development of residential and recreational moorings for historic vessels on the Thames. The architectural scheme has been designed as a model for river dwelling that takes into account its tidal location. The unique Pier House, built to a high specification, provides a floating community centre just downstream from Tower Bridge.
And from the community’s website: www.hcmoorings.org
Hermitage Community Moorings (HCM) is a co-operative which built, owns, and operates a mooring on the Thames at Hermitage Wharf, Wapping.
The mooring provides berths for up to 20 historic vessels: enabling a mixture of live-aboard, recreational and visitor use. HCM provides well-managed river access for local people, including educational and recreational facilities.
HCM was created by a small, dedicated community over the course of about 6 years and is the first development of its kind on the Thames for more than a generation. The co-operative members entirely self-funded the planning, design, management, construction, installation, and operation of the harbour. The infrastructure is designed to create a small, close-knit community of people committed to boat use and the preservation of historic craft.
Part of its ambition is to ensure traditional river craft (e.g. sailing barges, tugs and motor craft) remain part of the Wapping landscape for future generations – and to create a local landmark that promotes Wapping’s historic links with the river.
Address: 16 Wapping High Street, London E1W 1NG.

Hamburgs Bezirk + Stadtteile Bilder aus dem Stadtteil Bramfeld , Bezirk Wandsbek. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung Bramfelds stammt aus dem Jahr 1271. Der Ortsname Bramfeld verweist auf den gelb blühenden Ginsterbusch – altdeutsch Bra(a)mbusch –, der typisch für die Heide- und Moorlandschaft der Gegend war. Diese Pflanze ist auch im Bramfelder Wappen zu sehen. Im Bauerndorf Bramfeld lebten im 15. Jahrhundert zehn Hufner, das waren Bauern, die soviel Land besaßen, dass sie davon eine Familie ernähren konnten. Sie bestellten gemeinsam die Felder. Es gab einen Bauernvogt, der den Ort verwaltete und dem dafür verschiedene Privilegien eingeräumt wurden. Seit 1867 gehörte Bramfeld zum preußischen Schleswig-Holstein und durch das Groß-Hamburg-Gesetz wurde Bramfeld der Hansestadt Hamburg eingemeindet. Auf einem Gebiet von ca. 10 km² leben knapp 50 000 Einwohner in dem Hamburger Stadtteil Bramfeld.
