caption_attribution_description: English: Battersea: Ransome's Dock (1) This is one of the last surviving docks built off the River Thames upstream of the Tower of London. The dock is dog-legged with a narrow straight section leading off the river, with this wider dock to the south. The 1874 Edition of the Ordnance Survey mapping shows only the straight section, but by the time the 1896 Edition was published this pool is shown too. The brick chimney may have been part of the foundry shown on the 1874 map, while 828344 peeps out behind it. Ransome's Dock Restaurant is on the left.
context_page_description: This is a list of about 680 former or extant wharves, docks, piers, terminals, etc. of the Port of London, the majority of which lie on the Tideway of the River Thames, listed from upstream to downstream.
  Many of the docks closed after the mass uptake of containerisation changed the face of the industry and bringing about an end to an era, and a demise to the occupation of the docker as it then was.
  Those marked with a † have at present the status of a safeguarded wharf. Those in italics are no longer used for port or river transit related activities. Further remarks are made in brackets, including in some cases the present operator or cargo handled.
  It is estimated that in 1937, at the height of London's trade, there were around 1,700 wharves between Brentford and Gravesend. Today there are around 70 active terminals, each generally handling much greater volumes. Much of the cargo and commodities handling by the Port of London takes place in the downstream stretches of the Thames beyond Greater London, on the banks of south Essex and north Kent. The Port of London Authority controls operations from its base in Gravesend.
