What is Blackwall, London?
'''Blackwall''' is a district of [[London]], England, located in the [[London Borough of Tower Hamlets]]. It also forms part of the [[Port of London]]. Blackwall can be broadly described today as the area close to the [[River Thames]] from the edge of the [[Isle of Dogs]] and as far east as the [[East India Docks]] on the Leanouth peninsula. The area takes its name from a historic stretch of riverside wall built along an outside curve of the [[River Thames]], to protect the area from flooding. Blackwall today is mostly residential but [[Blackwall Yard]] provides moorings for [[boat]]s. {{geo-stub}} [[Category:Areas of London]]
