Do you remember the docks? In its heyday, the Port of London was the biggest in the world. It was a sprawling network of quays, wharves, canals and basins, providing employment for over 100,000 people. From the dockworker to the prostitute, the Romans to the Republic of the Isle of Dogs, London's docklands have always been a key part of the city. But it wasn't to last. They might have recovered from the devastating bombing raids of the Second World War – but it was the advent of the container ships, too big to fit down the Thames, that would sound the final death knell. Over 150,000 men lost their jobs, whole industries disappeared, and the docks gradually turned to wasteland. In London's Docklands: A History of the Lost Quarter, best-selling historian Fiona Rule ensures that, though the docklands may be all but gone, they will not be forgotten.

The London Docklands are widely regarded as one of the most successful examples of urban regeneration in the world. This is a history of the Docklands' development, from the squalid broken-down wharves of the post-war era to the innovative architecture and landscaped waterfronts of today. Ideologically, the story unfolds as a social and political phenomenon of our times.

The tidal river Thames is the gateway to London. Before the advent of containerisation it was the greatest and busiest port in the world. In the Port of London men of all skills and abilities worked side by side, though not necessarily in close harmony. This tale, set soon after the Second World War, concerns ex-servicemen who had returned home to share in the 'rebuilding of their homeland' after the devastation caused by bombing, to be faced with the economic repression of wages and incomes justified by war debts owed to America and Canada. Work in the docks was hard and dangerous, and demanded long hours over a seven-day week. It was in such an environment that Henry T. Bradford spent thirty-two years of his working life, first as a 'Grade A' docker and later, after suffering severe injuries in dock accidents, as a ship's clerk.

Finalist for the 2022 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Myth and Fantasy Studies From the time of Charles Dickens, the imaginative power of the city of London has frequently inspired writers to their most creative flights of fantasy. Charting a new history of London fantasy writing from the Victorian era to the 21st century, Fairy Tales of London explores a powerful tradition of urban fantasy distinct from the rural tales of writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien. Hadas Elber-Aviram traces this urban tradition from Dickens, through the scientific romances of H.G. Wells, the anti-fantasies of George Orwell and Mervyn Peake to contemporary science fiction and fantasy writers such as Michael Moorcock, Neil Gaiman and China Miéville.

Museum of London Docklands unlocks the history of London's river, port and people. From Roman settlement to Dockland's regeneration, this former sugar warehouse reveals the long history of London as a port through stories of trade, migration and commerce, telling how the river Thames became a global gateway as it brought invaders, merchants and immigrants through one of the world's longest serving ports in the heart of the city.

It selects highlights from the rich and diverse collections at the Museum of London, Docklands to illuminate the 2000 year story of river, port and people.
