Dullsville.
Despite the view the stretch along the Thames from Butlers Wharf to China Dock/ St.Saviours Dock is thin gruel at best.
Some apathetic rusting old chains, seafaring jetsam, a sculpture? and lampposts add minimal contextualisation to a dated and faded early Eighties "Thatcher-lite" rehabilitation - depleted of atmosphere here.
With the Design Museum closed, the upmarket restaurants along this stretch, effectively with battened down hatches - ornamental barriers/partitioning facing the dreary walkway, largely eliminating the "view" or intrusive scrutiny by passing pedestrians.
Tepid here. Obviously in need of a deep upgrade.

Nice place where you can see a wharf. Typical architecture, interning building to see and bridge to walk over

A very pleasant surprise to find this view whilst walking the Thames path on the south side.

(Translated by Google) St Saviors Dock, despite being very close to Tower Bridge, is a very special corner of London, where tourists do not usually approach, and those who do do not know how to appreciate it, as the few and bad reviews show.
At first glance, it looks like just an inlet of the Thames River, full of mud. In my opinion it is a very picturesque place, with charm and a lot of history of Victorian 19th century London, the industrial revolution and the time when the mysterious Neckinger river was almost completely buried leaving as the only vestige of this tributary of the Thames two hundred of meters used as a dock to ship liquor shipments from nearby distilleries. Today the buildings that flank it, founded on wooden logs, are luxury homes and offices, suitable for very few.

St Saviours Dock, a pesar de estar muy cerca del Puente de la Torre, es un rincón muy especial de Londres, donde los turistas no se suelen acercar, y el que lo hace no sabe apreciarlo, como muestran las pocas y malas reseñas.
A simple vista, parece solo un entrante del rio Thames, lleno de fango. A mi parecer es un sitio muy pintoresco, con encanto y mucha historia del Londres del siglo XIX Victoriano, la revoución industrial y la época en el que el misterioso rio Neckinger fue casi completamente soterrado dejando como único vestigio de este afluente del Thames dos centenares de metros utilizados como muelle para embarcar los cargamentos de licores de las destilerias cercanas. Hoy en dia los edificios que lo flanquean, cimentados sobre troncos de madera son viviendas y oficinas de lujo, aptas para muy pocos.
