Wonders of The Docklands, Limehouse Marina
Tue, 4/11/08 – 22:09 | No Comment

The Limehouse Basin, built by the Regent’s Canal Company, was formerly known as Regent’s Canal Dock and was used by seagoing vessels and lighters to offload cargoes to canal barges, for onward transport along the Regent’s Canal. Although initially a commercial failure following its opening in 1820, by the mid 19th century the dock (and the canal) were an enormous commercial success for the importance in the supply of coal to the numerous gasworks and latterly electricity generating stations along the canal, and for domestic and commercial use. At one point it was the principal entrance from the Thames to the entire national canal network.

Today Limehouse Basin is one of the great successes of the redevelopment of Docklands, it is home to the beautiful Limehouse Marina with luxury residential developments along the basin. The redevelopment of the Basin started in 1983 as part of the London Docklands Development Corporation’s overall masterplan for the Docklands area. However, it took many years for the scheme to come to fruition.
