Boardwalk Place

Docklands is the semi-official name for an area in east London, England. It forms part of the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Greenwich. Over the past 30 years, the population of the Docklands has more than doubled and the area has become both a major business centre and a brilliant area to live. Transport links have improved significantly, with the Isle of Dogs gaining a tube connection via the Jubilee Line Extension (opened 1999) and the DLR being extended to Beckton, Lewisham, London City Airport, North Woolwich and Stratford. Canary Wharf has become one of Europe's biggest clusters of skyscrapers and a direct challenge to the financial dominance of the City.

Although the area has a strong grounding in business and industry, the Docklands is much more than this. Children will love exploring the “Arc in the Park” a wonderful adventure playground, while adults will enjoy both Beckton District Park and Canada Square Park. There are a multitude of fantastic restaurants and trendy bars to suit all tastes whilst shopaholics will not be disappointed by the range of shops on offer.
