NOTES: The nineteenth century St Katherine's Docks were built by Thomas Telford between 1826-29. The flanking warehouses with their cast-iron Doric colonnades were designed by Philip Hardwick between 1826-27. The Ivory House with its clock tower was built 1856-1860 by George Aitchison senior, clerk of works to the St Katherine's Dock Company. The offices on the far left were built as the headquarters for the Port of London Authority's police force in 1963 by Andrew Renton Associates.
