They range from the momumental tower at Canary Wharf, at 824ft the tallest building in Britain, which for many people symbolizes the modern Docklands, to small-scale traditional-style housing developments harking back to Georgian and Victorian exemplars. Many of these buildings and developments were included in the survey of London's two-volume study of \"Poplar, Blackwall and the Isle of Dogs\", which Athlone published for the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments in 1994. Continuing interest in the regeneration of the Docklands has persuaded the Royal Commission to re-issue the Survey's text dealing with the modern buildings in the area in a new format. For this book, the original text has been reorganized and, where necessary, brought up to date - some of the buildings included were not in existence when the Survey went to press in 1994. The illustrations have been revised and expanded.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49560630329617,"sku":"GOR004644705","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51180620644625,"sku":"GOR004520497","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0485485001.jpg?v=1751072529"},{"product_id":"survey-of-london-book-hermione-hobhouse-9780485482416","title":"Survey of London","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49635445178641,"sku":"GOR010837926","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/048548241X.jpg?v=1751072529"},{"product_id":"survey-of-london-book-hermione-hobhouse-9780485482423","title":"Survey of London","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49636842045713,"sku":"GOR013198009","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49669264179473,"sku":"GOR008311273","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0485482428.jpg?v=1751103516"},{"product_id":"survey-of-london-whitechapel-book-peter-guillery-9781913107253","title":"Survey of London: Whitechapel","description":"The Survey of London returns to the East End to chronicle Whitechapel, shedding new light on this widely misunderstood district   In these volumes, the Survey of London returns to the East End to chronicle Whitechapel, covering Aldgate to Mile End Green, and Brick Lane to Wellclose Square. The name Whitechapel—one of London’s best known—is highly evocative, carrying dark, even mythic associations. These are set aside to present new histories of all the area’s sites and buildings, those standing and many that have gone, in districts that have been repeatedly rebuilt.     Abutting the City of London, Whitechapel has, since medieval times, housed commerce and many varied industries. Enriched by centuries of immigration, this area has been “global” for as long as that word has denoted the world and, amidst widespread poverty, some of London’s great institutions have been founded here. In the midst of these landmarks, Whitechapel has seen recent transformation. These volumes bear historical witness with hundreds of superb new photographs and meticulous architectural drawings illustrating detailed accounts of topographical development in accessible prose. They will be an invaluable resource for historians, planners, residents, and the wider public.

This exceptional book is the latest in the famous Survey of London series, and the first to focus on a single street. It offers new insights into the growth of shops and shopping in the British capital, as well as a wealth of data, photographs, and drawings illuminating the buildings and activities that have given Oxford Street character.
