St. Katharine Docks

A recreational and residential complex, located on the north bank of the River Thames, near Tower Bridge. In the past, they were commercial docks serving London. The name comes from the 12th-century St Katharine's by the Tower hospital, which was previously on the site of the docks.

Work on the construction of docks began in 1827. To this end, more than 1,200 buildings were demolished, resulting in over 11,000 inhabitants lost their homes. Because they could not accommodate large ships, in 1864 they were connected to London Docks. In 1968, due to their low commercial utility, they were closed. Most of the warehouses were demolished, so-called Ivory House, so called because of the large amounts of ivory stored in it. Today, Docks of St. Katarzyna is a luxury residential and office complex located around the marina, willingly visited by tourists who can admire exclusive yachts and motorboats here.

At the marina stands the eighteenth-century edifice of the former royal brewery, which now houses a pub.
