Today the container ships are too big to come to London. Therefore the Port of London has moved nearer to the North Sea leaving all the warehouses and other port facilities in London useless and deserted.
After some years a lot of modern buildings emerged on the Isle of Dogs as the area of the old port was called. Today you can find modern office blockes, banks, news agencies, stock exchange offices and expensive shops in the area called Canary Wharf.
We walked there but also took the DLR (Dockland light Railway). Its trains are running without a driver and it is connected to the London Tube System.
