West India Docks

The West India Docks are a series of docks on the Isle of Dogs in London. They were constructed between 1800 and 1802 for the West India Company to a design by leading civil engineer William Jessop, and were the first commercial wet docks in London. The docks made the Isle of Dogs a true island.

After the effectice closure of the Port of London, the area was regenerated as part of the Docklands scheme, and is now home to the developments of Canary Wharf.
