Forty years ago, London's Docklands had become 6,000 acres of
forgotten wasteland after over a century as the busiest port in the
world. Now these once-derelict docks are again filled with ships
and boats, forming homes and businesses for an extraordinary range
of people. Whether millionaires visiting on their superyachts,
country house executives needing a London base, young tech workers
wanting a cheaper place to live, jobbing craftsmen keeping ancient
marine trades alive or homeless people finding refuge, these are
varied and dynamic communities. Highly acclaimed London
photographer Niki Gorick focuses on St Katharine Docks, the Surrey
Docks and the Isle of Dogs to illustrate the rich mix of
personalities and activities in these converted commercial docks.
They enjoy central London locations but as floating communities
with their own nautical customs and rules, they are a world apart
from their land-based neighbours. These images reveal the amazingly
diverse modern-day life within these urban marinas.
