The Surrey Docks is sometimes wrongly called Surrey Quays by those who are not from the area. It wrongly got this name in 1989 when the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre was built on the infilled southern part of Canada Water, and the nearby London Underground (now London Overground) station Surrey Docks was renamed Surrey Quays. The "de facto" renaming of the area was controversial at the time among the local community, some of whom felt that their history was being erased. Although "Surrey Docks" is still the name of the electoral ward. Surrey Docks is also known as downtown.
