1800
Beeston Long -Entrepreneur Beeston Long had the vision to see London’s international commercial future. In 1800 he funded and built London’s first enclosed docks before becoming chairman of London Docks and Governor of the Bank of England.
Queen Victoria Sir Alexander and Prince Albert Meadows Rendel -Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, created an Rendel was the engineer international exhibition to showcase Britain’s worldleading engineering and production innovations. It attracted six million visitors in 1851, who came to view the world’s latest technology.
who designed Royal Albert Dock to accommodate the newest and largest steamships, and to host the most modern crane technology, all linked to the rest of the UK via a new railway line.
This was the age of steamships and railways. Both influenced the decision to create Royal Albert Dock, which was named after the prince.
Parliament granted the right to build London’s enclosed docks so that valuable cargoes could be protected from theft, and loaded and unloaded as fast as possible. Prior to this, crowded quays close to the Tower of London were used.
1851
1880
Britain in the Victorian era built the world’s biggest trading empire and showcased the technological innovations of the Industrial Revolution at the Great Exhibition of 1851, the world’s first Expo.
When it opened in 1880 the Royal Albert Dock was considered the world’s finest. It pioneered electric lights to allow night and day working, hydraulic cranes and steam winches to speed loading and unloading, and transit sheds, warehouses and cold storage areas to accommodate durable commodities. Its nine metre depth meant it could accommodate the world’s largest freight vessels, giving the Royal Albert Dock a central role in Britain’s economy and a global significance with thousands of overseas workers moving to the area.

At 5pm on September 7 1940, German bombers attacked London with direct hits at Royal Albert Dock. The devastation was so great it became known as “Black Saturday”.
The Government set up an Enterprise Zone offering tax advantages to companies operating in the Docklands. Through these initiatives Canary Wharf was developed and the business of the capital started to move east.
Tenders were invited by the GLA from parties seeking to develop Royal Albert Dock - the start of a thorough two-year process to secure the ideal development partner.
Royal Albert Dock was a key target during the war. Britain’s famous wartime leader, Winston Churchill, visited the docks to inspect the damage and the King and Queen came to the London Docks to pay tribute to the local people.
After the war every type of cargo passed through Royal Albert Dock but trade was now moving to larger container and deep water ports. The last ship to unload at the docks was from China, the Xin Feng. Soon after, Royal Albert Dock closed.
regenerate London’s docks and the London Docklands Development Corporation was established by the Secretary of State for the Environment, Michael Heseltine.
Johnson and the Greater London Authority recognised the commercial importance of Royal Albert Dock and after two years scrutinising proposals approved ABP’s bid to acquire the land.
