  Isle of Dogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Isle of Dogs is not in fact an island, being a peninsula, surrounded on three sides (East, South and West) by the River Thames.
It is in the East End of London, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
The Isle of Dogs was originally called Stepney Marsh, which was drained in the 13th century.

 Victorian London - Districts - Isle of Dogs
Life in the Isle of Dogs commences at a very early hour, and that "horrid example" in sluggards who always wanted a little more sleep, would have had great difficulty in obtaining it after five o'clock in the morning, had it been his fate to live on the Isle of Dogs.
A noticeable feature in the Isle of Dogs is, that while it is almost entirely inhabited by the working classes, the dwelling-houses upon it are singularly ill-adapted to the requirements of a working man's home.

 London - a guide to the British Capital by Destination-UK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Today, the 32 London boroughs and the City of London cover an area of nearly 385 sq km, but the way in which the city has grown has left it with a comparatively low population density as well as a great deal of open parkland, commons and even woods.
East London and in particular the East End (Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Mile End and Bow) is in many ways the 'real London', although the architecture of this part of the capital suffered badly both during the Second World War and at the hands of the urban planners in the 1960s.

You'd think there would be lots of interesting relics but the massive conversion of the Isle of Dogs to a middle class suburban community for Canary Wharf workers has eliminated most traces.

 Curiously Incongruous
Like many others in England I was swept up in the Ashes test match (Cricket for those who don't know) between England and Australia.
On the fourth day of the final game which England had to draw or win to win the 5 game match, the English fans were hoping for a game delay by dint of too little light, a delay which could help force a draw which would mean England would win.
To help their cause thousands of England fans put up their umbrellas as though it had started to rain which would force a delay of the match.

The land within this great loop of the River Thames became the location of a major urban regeneration project in the 1980s.
It began when Mrs Thatcher's conservative government transferred ownership of the land from the Port of London Authority to the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) which offered tax incentives and began advertising land available for development.
The key decision was to retain the dock basins as an urban amenity, instead of infilling them as had been done in the Surrey Docks and as the local authority planned for the Isle of Dogs.
