This sixty-minute Virtual Walk explores the buildings of the London Borough of Newham, the southern part of which is dominated by the vast Royal Docks and the industries that built up around them. These have been partially redeveloped with some striking new buildings like the University of East London's Halls of Residence and the Crystal, the new home for the Greater London Assembly, while some of the heritage of the old docks remains. And Newham also offers much more than Docklands: you'll find a 12th century church, a memorial to Tudor Martyrs, a fine theatre and plenty of civic pride. The borough has some marvellous former industrial buildings along the River Lea and is home to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with buildings that put London on the world stage as part of London 2012. Whatever your taste in buildings, you are bound to find something you like.
