Surrey Docks

Surrey Docks refers to a historic area along the River Thames in London, originally used for shipping, cargo handling, and shipbuilding. Once a busy hub for importing and exporting goods, it played a crucial role in London's trade. Over time, the docks were decommissioned, and much of the area has been redeveloped into residential and commercial spaces, now known for parks, markets, and cultural venues. The name "Surrey Docks" often relates to the wider industrial heritage of the region, reflecting its importance in London's maritime and economic history.
