Pool of London
Pool of London, Historic part of London
The Pool of London is a stretch of the River Thames from London Bridge to below Limehouse.
It was once the most important part of London's port, with wharves, docks and warehouses.
The Pool of London played a significant role in the city's economic and cultural development.
Today, it is a popular tourist destination, offering scenic views of the city's skyline.
It is named 'Pool' due to its depth which allowed large vessels to moor close to the shore.
