Docklands is the semi-official name given to the area east of London, England. The eponymous docks were part of the Port of London, which was once one of the world's largest ports. Today they have been redeveloped for commercial and residential use. The name London Docklands first appeared in a government report of 1971. Today it is almost universally adopted.
The Docklands comprise the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Globe Town, Newham and Greenwich, all within Greater London.
