GUIDED WALK: London's Port History - East and West India Docks

  • East India DLR Station, Aspen Way London E14 9GF (map)

Using old maps and photographs as we walk, with a chance for questions and discussion, this walk from East India DLR Station to Canary Wharf looks at the East India Company and the ruthless sugar traders that built warehouses in the area around Canary Wharf using profits made from the labour of enslaved Africans. You'll see what is left of the East and West India docks, built for sailing ships in the early 1800's.
