This fascinating insight into London's docklands is the result of extensive research into an area of London that has intrigued the author for many years. In its heyday, the area was dominated by three, vast expanses of water. Known collectively as the Royal Docks, the Victoria, Albert and King George V Docks formed the most visually impressive section of the Port of London; a sprawling network of quays, ancient wharves, deep canals and high-walled basins that stretched along the River Thames from the City to Tilbury.
