Part of the Docklands in the east of London, this historically industrial area has been largely transformed since the mid-twentieth century. Canary Wharf is known for its commercial character and tall buildings, and to the south are dense residential neighbourhoods. Although just opposite Greenwich, the Isle of Dogs has a very different character and history.

About the London Group
The SPAB London group was formed in 2015 and it brings together over 1,000 SPAB members living or working in the metropolitan area. London’s diversity of built heritage gives members the opportunity to share knowledge of historic buildings, conservation projects and craft skills. The SPAB London group offers visits to see conservation works on historic buildings, lectures, concerts and its monthly Walks to Nowhere, guided walking tours discovering London’s many distinctive neighbourhoods and ending at an historic pub. Recent walks traversed Bloomsbury, Smithfield and Borough.
