when did the london docklands go into decline?
by the 1980s
london docklands is the riverfront and former docks in london. in east and southeast london, it forms part of the boroughs of southwark, tower hamlets, lewisham, newham, and greenwich. the docks were formerly part of the port of london, at one time the world's largest port. following the closure of the docks, the area became derelict and poverty-ridden by the 1980s. the docklands' regeneration began later that decade; it has been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. the name "london docklands" was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 and has since become virtually universally adopted. the redevelopment created wealth, but also led to conflict between the new and old communities in the areas thus designated.
