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. Opposite: The London Docks: c.1800 1. Captain James Cook 2.

When completed, the entire site encompassed 90 acres, including 35 acres of water, 50 acres of warehouse space, 2.5 miles of quays and jetties and 7 acres of wine vaults. It has been estimated that The London Docks were able to accommodate up to as many as 500 ships and store over 200,000 tons of goods. The London Docks dealt with a vast array of goods, from brandy, wine and rice to fruit, spices, coffee and cocoa. 2 1. Number One Warehouse, London Docks 2.
