About Poplar

The hamlet of Poplar lies to the north of the Isle of Dogs. It is the site of the oldest surviving building in London Docklands, the 347-year-old St Matthias Old Church, built in 1654 as the chapel for the East India Company. The church, which sits in Poplar Recreation Ground was closed in 1976 and is now used as a community centre.

In the 19th century the canal system originating in Tower Hamlets was the entrance to the busy arterial route serving Britain's commercial life. The Limehouse Basin and Cut were the main links from the Thames to the River Lea and onwards to the industrial north, linking the trade routes of the world to cities across England.

Now the Canals are busy once again, not with coal and copper but with anglers, ramblers and tourist barges. The Limehouse Basin itself has been redeveloped as an attractive waterside residential complex.

Charles Dickens spent much time in the Limehouse pub, The Grapes. It is described in his book Our Mutual Friend
