<p>Docklands and the entrance to West India Docks<br />
<br />
The West India Docks are a series of three docks, quaysides, and warehouses built to import goods from, and export goods and occasionally passengers to the British West Indies. Located on the Isle of Dogs in London, the first dock opened in 1802. Following their commercial closure in 1980, the Canary Wharf development was built around the wet docks by narrowing some of their broadest tracts</p>

<p>Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed bascule-and-suspension bridge spanning the Thames beside the Tower of London, built between 1886 and 1894 to provide a new eastern crossing without blocking shipping to the Pool of London. Designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry, its two 213‑ft towers support high‑level walkways and a central pair of bascules that originally ran on steam‑powered hydraulics, converted to electro‑hydraulic operation in 1974. Opened on 30 June 1894 by the Prince and Princess of Wales, it quickly became both a vital transport link and a London icon. The bridge has seen wartime damage, a famous 1952 incident where a bus jumped the rising bascule, major refurbishments including full repainting in 2008–2010, and the creation of the Tower Bridge Exhibition, which showcases its Victorian engine rooms and glass‑floor walkways. Today it carries the London Inner Ring Road, handles around 40,000 crossings daily, and remains one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.<br />

<p>L)Old Aberdeen Wharf at 94 Wapping High Street is a mid‑19th‑century riverside warehouse built in robust stock brick and typical of the former Thames‑side industrial landscape. Its long, narrow plan, tall multi‑storey elevation, and regular rows of loading bays and hoist positions reflect the functional design of Victorian wharf buildings that served London’s maritime trade. The structure’s surviving historic fabric and prominent position on the waterfront make it a characteristic example of Wapping’s working riverfront during the city’s industrial era.<br />
<br />
R)  Wapping Police Station - The site has a continuous police presence dating back to 1798 when the Marine Police Establishment was founded to stop cargo theft from ships. The current building was designed by John Dixon Butler and constructed between 1907 and 1910. It is now the home of the The Marine Policing Unit (MPU) </p>
