Opened in 1828 beside the Tower of London, these docks handled luxury goods including ivory, spices and marble. Designed by Thomas Telford, they required demolishing 1,250 houses and the medieval St Katharine's Hospital. Badly bombed in WWII, they became London's first regenerated docks in the 1970s. Now a prestigious marina with restaurants and historic ships, they remain remarkably atmospheric and beautifully preserved.
