The BE Wapp festival aims to inform people about ecology and environmental issues around the world. Shazam collaborated with the festival to promote their competition to win tickets to the event.
The Thames Tunnel. Opened in 1843 and built by Sir Marc Isambard Brunel. The first tunnel in the world to be built beneath water.
Open to the public this weekend (tickets sold out) and only the second time in its history that the tunnel has been open to the general public.
Loc New Crane Beach, Wapping, East London
When I got to Wapping the tide was really low so I walked down some steps onto the beach. I sat there for a while and watched the Thames Clippers go up and down the river (they cause a mini-tsunami with their wake). There's a lot of debris on this beach, all the stuff that's thrown into the river ends up here so anything from anchors to video tapes and shoes.
Ducks and old depth markings.
There's a very interesting picture of Western Dock (I think) being filled in here: www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/conMediaFile.525.... I believe that's News International being constructed in the background. There are various other good photos of the docks on that site (Port Cities).
The surviving fragment of the gatehouse to the early nineteenth-century New Gaol, currently hemmed in by hoardings for the Wapping Wharf mixed-used development. How will it be incorporated?
Gun Wharves in Wapping, on the northern embankment of the River Thames, in east London — I took this photo on a Sunday afternoon in 1965. Fifty years later, Wapping High Street looks somewhat different, with the remaining warehouse buildings now converted to apartments; however, the cobbled road surface is still there.
Good bye Wapping, hello Canary Wharf!
Fantastic views of London from our new riverside flat in Seacon Tower.
