The futuristic-looking Docklands was the former port of the metropolis. It had been deteriorating for more than 15 years: the basins and docks had long been too small for the gigantic modern container ships. In Tilbury, nearly 40 kilometers further downstream, a new and modern port emerged in 1972, rendering the old facilities redundant. Only when the warehouses and storage houses of St. Katherine's Dock next to the Tower were protected and thoroughly restored did various restaurants, pubs, and shops settle around the harbor basin filled with yachts, and discussions about a redevelopment of the Docklands began. Around the
old harbor basin, architects erected postmodern office buildings.
