  Pool of London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally, the Pool of London was the stretch of the River Thames forming the south side of the City of London.
It was of vital importance to London for centuries - as early as the 7th century the Venerable Bede wrote that the Pool was the reason for London's existence - but reached its peak in the 18th and 19th centuries.
London's Docklands had their origins in the lack of capacity in the Pool of London, which prompted landowners to build enclosed docks with better security and facilities than the Pool's wharves.

 Stepney Areas:Port and Pool of London
The tidal Thames flows to and from Teddington to the sea, a length of 69 miles and is operated nowadays by the Port of London Authority.
The Port of London extends from London Bridge to Deptford, being a distance of nearly four miles, and from four to five hundred yards, average in breadth.
Only within the original 'Pool' were dutiable goods allowed to be off loaded from ships onto the quays and so the City of London held the monopoly on all such imports although much smuggling no doubt took place lower down the river.

 London Pools Campaign: Which is London's Best Swimming Pool?
We visited each pool twice, except for pools which are intended primarily as leisure pools, which were visited once, as this is intended as a swimmer's survey - though on another occasion we would like to extend it to be a more complete exercise.
Some pools are so old and run down it is really difficult to make them look and feel clean; cholorine stains the floors and the seats, lockers have lost keys, changing cubicles have lost locks and hinges, shower heads are blocked.
All these pools surveyors reported as having question marks over their future, once a pool's future is uncertain, investment usually stops completely while decisions are made.

Funding for the Jubilee Pool, an Art Deco masterpiece built in the 1930s, was to be cut by Penwith District Council because the authority could not afford to run both the lido and a multimillion-pound indoor leisure centre built in the Cornish town two years ago.

The leisure centre, pool and pitch are about to undergo an inspection by our building contractors as part of a standard year-on check up to ensure everything is working as it should.
