Travels: London: Docklands 1987

About these pages : Links
The revitalisation of "Docklands" by the Docklands Development Corporation was in full swing, with many reports in the media. I wanted to see for myself what it was all about.

What follows is pieced together mainly from memories triggered by my trips in 2000.

London Bridge station (approx. 11:30)

Hay's Galleria
[2000]

Walked across Tower bridge
It started to rain, causing me to curtail plans, in particular the one to ride eastwards on the Docklands Light Railway into the heart of the redevelopment.

St Katharine's Dock
Eary stages of redevelopment
[2000]

Nearby, a building site hoarding proudly announcing the site of the European Patent Office
It seems this was some sort of ploy - it didn't end up there.
