Royal Docks Pumping Station

The Royal Docks are a fascinating part of London’s maritime history. Once the largest stretch of enclosed water in the world, this is now a corner of the city going through immense change and regeneration. Visit Royal Albert Dock – next to London City Airport – for a glimpse of the heritage at its heart: the red brick Victorian Royal Docks Pumping Station, now surrounded by new flats overlooking the water.
