Transfer from Gatwick Airport to Port of London

Transfer from Gatwick Airport to Port of London

The first Port of London built in the Roman period prospered and grew in the 3^rd and 2^nd centuries, but it saw a decline in the 5^th century. Under the Roman colonization and due to the port’s presence, the city thrived greatly. The modern Port of London is based on the Roman organisation and expansion of facilities.

By the 19^th century, the Pool of London handled 100% of the shipping and it increased in coastal and overseas trade. By the end of the 18^th century, the River Thames was supposed to be straightened between Woolwich Reach and Wapping. Eventually, only a small channel was constructed. It’s called the City Canal and crosses the Isle of Dogs.

The major enclosed dock systems along the River Thames were constructed in the 19^th century and their purpose was to protect the cargoes with high walls. The docks are Tilbury docks, West India Docks, Royal Albert Dock, East India Dock, Millwall Dock, London Docks, Royal Victoria Dock, St Katharine Docks and Surrey Commercial Docks.
