Wapping: London’s new waterside wonderland

27th November 2015

Wapping will soon be playing host to thousands of new homes, with the old News International printworks and a number of listed vaults and warehouses all part of a regeneration project that will bring new life to the area between Tower Bridge and Shadwell Basin. London Dock, a landscaped neighbourhood on the site where Rupert Murdoch’s portfolio of papers were once published, will have 1,800 homes, along with a new arts and shopping quarter, with a grid of open spaces and gardens linking it all together. The principal public space, Gauging Square, will have a water feature similar to the Miroir d’eau in Bordeaux.
