It has constantly evolved and London Dock represents another proud chapter in its long and illustrious history. This new development is set against a landscape of world famous destinations and landmarks, in one of the most exciting cities in the world. Designed for 21st century living, this is where your adventure begins. London Dock, discover more. 2 LONDON DOCK DISCOVER MORE 3 Computer generated image. Indicative only 4 LONDON DOCK DISCOVER MORE 5 A PLACE OF CHARACTER AND HISTORY 1 2 ALONGSIDE THE BANKS OF THE RIVER THAMES, COLOURED BY THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY, WAPPING HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HUB OF COMMERCE AND LIFE. By the late 18th Century, Wapping made London one of the busiest ports in the world. The building of The London Docks transformed a small riverside village into one of the liveliest districts in the Capital. Wapping was a gateway to the British Empire, a commercial centre and a mix of cultural influences. Celebrated figures made their home here, like explorer and captain of the Endeavour, James Cook. A resident of Wapping in the 1750s, he later became the first European to master the east coast of Australia. Wapping was also home to artists and writers. Charles Dickens drew inspiration from the area during visits to his godfather in nearby Limehouse. Much of what he saw of life in the docks and at the riverside became famous scenes in his books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.

  • Battersea Area Guide
    Battersea Area Guide Living in Battersea and Nine Elms Battersea is in the London Borough of Wandsworth and stands on the south bank of the River Thames, spanning from Fairfield in the west to Queenstown in the east. The area is conveniently located just 3 miles from Charing Cross and easily accessible from most parts of Central London. The skyline is dominated by Battersea Power Station and its four distinctive chimneys, visible from both land and water, making it one of London’s most famous landmarks. Battersea’s most famous attractions have been here for more than a century. The legendary Battersea Dogs and Cats Home still finds new families for abandoned pets, and Battersea Park, which opened in 1858, guarantees a wonderful day out. Today Battersea is a relatively affluent neighbourhood with wine bars and many independent and unique shops - Northcote Road once being voted London’s second favourite shopping street. The SW11 Literary Festival showcases the best of Battersea’s literary talents and the famous New Covent Garden Market keeps many of London’s restaurants supplied with fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. Nine Elms is Europe’s largest regeneration zone and, according the mayor of London, the ‘most important urban renewal programme’ to date. Three and half times larger than the Canary Wharf finance district, the future of Nine Elms, once a rundown industrial district, is exciting with two new underground stations planned for completion by 2020 linking up with the northern line at Vauxhall and providing excellent transport links to the City, Central London and the West End.
