In 1802 the West India Docks opened in response to the enormous growth of shipping in the
Port
of
London
. By the 1980s they were closed in response to great changes in cargo handling and the Isle of Dogs became a business development area. We will look at these changes and examine some of the innovative architecture, gardens and public sculpture.
