London Overground Station, which is running underground at this point. It is a very long way down to the platforms.

More of an ornamental canal!
This is the site of the old London Dock. The houses on the left were built on the infilled dock.
The wall on the right is the south side of the dock.

An up-to-date electric bus rattles over the granite setts in Wapping High St. I think this is now the only place in London where you can 'enjoy' this experience.

Another shot from the London Flickr Photowalk around Shadwell and Wapping back in February.
There are many former warehouses in the area that are now converted into 'luxury apartments' but luckily there are still many fragments, such as this door, that give a flavour of the area's former character.

From Wikipedia, "The area's strong maritime associations changed radically in the 19th century when the London Docks were built to the north and west of the High Street. Wapping's population plummeted by nearly 60% during that century, with many houses destroyed by the construction of the docks and giant warehouses along the riverfront. Squeezed between the high walls of the docks and warehouses, the riverside area became isolated from the rest of London, although some relief was provided by Brunel's Thames Tunnel to Rotherhithe. The opening of Wapping tube station on the East London Line in 1869 provided a direct rail link to the rest of London.
Wapping was devastated by German bombing in the Second World War and by the post-war closure of the docks. It remained a run-down and derelict area into the 1980s, when the area was transferred to the management of the London Docklands Development Corporation, a government quango with the task of redeveloping the Docklands. The London Docks were largely filled in and redeveloped with a variety of commercial, light industrial and residential properties."

Go-Ahead SE224 on route 100, seen in Wapping High Street.
(Wrong side of river Flickr, this is Wapping.)
We went to an exhibition at the Wapping Project - essentially the disused Wapping Hydraulic Power Station, repurposed into a gallery, bar and restaurant.
A very interesting place.
