Docklands Online

Welcome to Docklands. This is a guide to the Docklands area.

It may be a white elephant now, but I had a really good day out.

This shows the inside of the Dome, during one of what all seem agreed were very impressive aerial shows.

While it was in use during the year 2000 the Millennium Dome was lit up at night and made a wonderful spectacle.

A busy bus station at a near derelict dome. There is building work still going on in an attempt to bring life to this peninsular area.

The Tate & Lyle refinery (shown on some maps as a brewery) viewed from under the nearby DLR viaduct. Note the 'golden syrup tin' on the NW corner (green blob at this resoluton!) With an easterly wind the refinery can clearly be smelt in Greenwich.

As a contrast with all those images of The Millennium Dome in this grid square, here, a kilometre away north-eastwards across the Thames, is the Twilight Nitespot at the junction of Peto Street North with Victoria Dock Road. The glazed green brickwork suggests this may have been a public house in years gone by. Peto Street North is named after Sir Samuel Morton Peto (1809-1889) who was one of the promoters and designers of the nearby Victoria Dock.
