Royal Victoria Dock

In the Victorian era, the Royal Victoria Dock might have been one of the busiest in the city but today it has been transformed entirely. It is still busy, though, thanks to new developments like Sunburn luxury apartments and the ExCel convention center. The old cranes have been fixed and turned into decorative elements (some even function as streetlights). The loading bridges have been converted into modern pedestrian bridges, lit at night with modern elevators. In short, a dying industrial space has been transformed into a luxurious waterfront business district, with some of the most modern views in London.
