Tower Hamlets (Borough of)

London – Tower Hamlets (Borough of) – Sand Pit at East India Dock

As another one of my random asides, I often stay at the Travelodge at Docklands and it’s located in the top right of this map from the 1870s. One thing that I saw yesterday, which is a new addition, is a sand pit which is located to the bottom left of where the dock was.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong with this?

As an aside, what the dock area looks like now and there are already lots of residential properties and more are being constructed. There’s a new restaurant opening soon and a new Tesco Express, what more could a community want?
