Then from the 1840s it became a gateway to the world. Three new docks - Royal Victoria, Royal Albert and King George V - and the trades that grew around them transformed this area into the industrial heart of the world’s largest port. A busy day in King George V Dock (1965) But this success was not to last. © PLA / Museum of London When the docks closed in 1981 North Woolwich was left isolated and in decline. So a series of projects were established to revive the area, complete with new buildings and transport networks.

  • Business Case for Refurbishment of the Greenwich and Woolwich Foot Tunnels
    Business Case for Refurbishment of the Greenwich and Woolwich Foot Tunnels 1. The Scheme The scheme is for a major refurbishment of the foot tunnels at Greenwich and Woolwich. The tunnels are over 100 years old and suffer from an increasing amount of water penetration, unreliable lifts and an uninviting walking environment. Despite this, they are well used both by local residents and, in the case of Greenwich, by tourists. Their unique contribution to London’s transport network is the provision of a 24/7 opportunity to cross the River Thames by foot or cycle. The refurbishment scheme will provide: Total replacements of the lifts Refurbishment of the domes above the lifts Enhanced CCTV coverage of the tunnels and help points with 24/7 monitoring Enhanced lighting within the tunnels A better quality environment within the tunnels with refreshed tiling and improved cleaning Improved signing to the tunnels Provision of real time information The outcomes of the scheme are: Reliable lifts A facility which can be consistently used by all sections of the community including disabled and elderly people The preservation of the tunnels by controlling the rate of water penetration The preservation of the Grade II listed buildings by control of water penetration. A significant increase in journey ambience through the tunnels, together with increased lighting and security, 24 hours a day. 2. Costs Capital Costs Do-minimum Without the scheme, the tunnels will still remain open for a while. The lifts will continue to operate with one member of staff per lift from 7am to 9pm. The lifts will however become increasingly unreliable.

Management Guidelines London Borough of Tower Hamlets Adopted by Cabinet: 7 th March 2007 Island Gardens Conservation Area Page 1 of 18 Appendix D – Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Guidelines Introduction Conservation Areas are parts of our local environment with special architectural or historic qualities. They are created by the Council, in consultation with the local community, to preserve and enhance the specific character of these areas for everybody. This guide has been prepared for the following purposes: To comply with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Section 69(1) states that a conservation area is “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance” To provide a detailed appraisal of the area’s architectural and historic character. To provide an overview of planning policy and propose management guidelines on how this character should be preserved and enhanced in the context of appropriate ongoing change.

  • Rotherhithe Case Study
    Rotherhithe Case Study: Propensity to Cycle Tool This case study has been written to use the Propensity to Cycle Tool (PCT: www.pct.bike) to consider the impact of a bridge in South-East London between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf, close to the location of the current ferry. A caveat must be noted: the PCT has not been designed to evaluate the impact of providing faster or more direct routes on cycling potential, and so this case study must be considered exploratory. However, this report illustrates the principle using a relatively simple example, for which ‘quiet route’ distance may be used to explore possible increases in cycling potential. The case study was drafted by Rachel Aldred on behalf of the PCT team.

At the end of the road turn right to Dockmasters House (2). This Georgian building has had many uses. The current restaurant and bar it houses is being refurbished and is due to reopen mid 2008. Designed in 1807 by Thomas Morris, the engineer to the West India Dock Company, it was first used as an excise office, then a tavern, then a Dock Managers office, but strangely never used by a Dockmaster! At the end of the road, turn left onto Hertsmere Road where you will see the imposing West India Quay Warehouses (3).
