Overview

The Ports of Call project has created walking trails, artwork and historical interpretation with communities surrounding the Royal Docks in East London.

The closure of the working docks, once the busiest in the world, and the ongoing redevelopment of docklands with new sites like City Airport, the Excel Centre and a university campus 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 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.

Here you can experience our online exhibitions and try audio trails featuring local people, rare archive recordings and original music composed specifically for the area. Try the trails online, or download them to an mp3 player and come and explore...
