Poplar, Millwall, Isle of Dogs, and Docklands are in the E14 London borough of Tower Hamlets. The district was part of the Port of London, employing tens of thousands of dock workers. In the 1970’s when container ships became the norm, the larger ships could no longer reach the docks and the Port of London collapsed. This caused the area to collapse into recession.
History of Canary Wharf
In 1988 Canary Wharf changed the economic disaster that existed in Poplar, Millwall, Isle of Dogs and the Docklands offices. In that year construction began on the first buildings.
Most of Canary Wharf exists on the Isle of Dogs, but developers have hired much of the construction workers from the surrounding communities, especially Millwall, causing a much needed growth in jobs, the economy, and moral.
Today these communities are thriving and leading the way in gentrification.
One of the main problems of the Docklands was the poor transportation connections which limited investments in the area. Today the Docklands Light Railway has improved the situation connecting all of the Docklands to the Jubilee and East London Line, making it easy and enjoyable for residents to enter and leave the Docklands.
The Isle of Dogs has been most affected by Canary Wharf, which has created over 14 million square feet of office and retail space. The situation has also been improved with the opening of the Docklands Light Railway, and the extension of the Jubilee Line in the early 1990’s, give the Isle of Dogs a tube station for the first time.
Millwall to the south of Canary Wharf has seen a building boom in contemporary houses, providing homes for the thousands of workers flooding into the area. Many of its old warehouses and ‘two up, two down’ homes have been demolished for modern industrial and commercial buildings beside the residential areas.
Poplar in E14 has flourished as well as Millwall. Many of its old buildings such as the old Seamen’s Mission, have been converted into executive apartments for the growing upper class. St. Matthias Old Church built in the 1600’s, has been a beneficiary of the recent development, after being abandoned in the 1970’s, funds were raised in 1992 to turn the historical building into a community center for Millwall.
