London’s Docklands was undergoing one of the biggest urban renewal programmes in the world when this guide to the buildings of the area was published in 1993. The gigantic developments at Canary Wharf had only just begun to loom over the run-down riverside areas of east London. ‘Docklands’ remains a rare critical guide o the buildings, old and new, in this unique area of London. Providing visitors with both the historical context and a view of the future, it documents – with maps, plans and photographs – the monuments of high-pressure development.
