Ransome’s Dock
Battersea
London, September 2005

“This old dock is one of the surprises to be found in the river bank upriver of London Bridge. Between London Bridge and the western boundary of Inner London – at Hammersmith – there have been various creeks that have been used for purposes connected with the Thames. In addition, there have been a few docks cut into the bank of the Thames. Today all of these man-made features have been swept away and it is only Ransome’s Dock, at Battersea, that remains the same size and shape as in Victorian times.” (Ransome’s Dock, Know Your London)
