Overview

The aim of the Ports of Call project is to create walking trails, artwork and historical interpretation with members of the communities surrounding the Royal Docks in London.

The closure of the working docks, once the busiest in the world, and ongoing redevelopment has transformed the landscape and the population of communities such as Silvertown and North Woolwich.

 

 

By creating online maps, public art and historical audio trails with the involvement of residents it is hoped that locals and newcomers alike can discover new ways of interpreting their surroundings, and visitors can gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating part of East London.
