More about this scene
The biggest docks were the Royal group east of Canning Town on the north bank of the Thames. The Royal Victoria Dock opened in 1855, enclosing 94 acres of water. Following closure in 1981 and the establishment of the London Docklands Development Corporation that same year, all of the former docklands have been transformed with stylish flats, warehouse conversions, and office buildings. Canary Wharf is the most famous; its gigantic office tower, 824 feet (251 metres) high, was started in 1987, and now in 2002 has been joined by two others. The group can be seen from miles away.
