About

Blackwall sits on a northward bend of the River Thames, historically defined by its docks and shipbuilding. The area is now dominated by large-scale residential developments and modern commercial architecture, with older industrial structures repurposed. The Thames Path provides a continuous walkway along the river's edge.

A significant feature is the preserved entrance basin and listed walls of the former East India Dock, now a quiet recreational space within a modern housing estate. The area's geography is marked by the Blackwall Tunnel approach roads, which create a distinct boundary.
