The landscape is defined by old wharves, modern apartment blocks, and the preserved facade of the former Siemens factory. The Thames Path provides a continuous walkway, offering views across to the Royal Docks. The area functions as a major regeneration zone, with construction sites and new transport links shaping its ongoing transformation.
