Surveying buildings in London's docklands
The area loosely described as London's Docklands contains a great variety of building types which are, in general, poorly maintained. A large proportion of the commercial and industrial structures are over 50 years old and many stand empty today, as silent monuments of an age of thriving free trade with the nations of the world. Exotic names of far away places — Havana, Jamaica, Haiti, Antigua, Barbados — painted on the lintels of door openings are all that remains to tell their story.
