London Dock transforms 6.2 hectares of Wapping’s historic docklands into a thriving new neighbourhood. Since 2012, we have been working with St George City on the masterplan design for a mixed-use development of 1,800 homes above an active commercial ground floor, set within an extensive public realm.

The site had been closed to the public since 1799 and formerly accommodated dock functions, bonded warehouses and in later years, the News International print-works. The masterplan breaks down the defensive nature of the site and encourages movement within, reconnecting the new neighbourhood to the rest of Wapping.

At the heart of the scheme is a landscape proposal that was developed with Allain Provost. The proposal consists of a series of public gardens that link the various spaces and buildings of London Dock. Complementing these spaces is an exemplary residential led mixed-use scheme, with inspiration drawn from the area’s dockland heritage.
