Shard View from the banks the river Thames in Wapping district in London United Kingdom

It is situated between the north bank of the River Thames and the ancient thoroughfare simply called The Highway. Wapping`s proximity to the river has given it a strong maritime character, which it retains through its riverside public houses and steps, such as the Prospect of Whitby and Wapping Stairs. It also has a Royal Navy shore establishment base on the riverfront called HMS President and home to Tobacco Dock and King Edward Memorial Park.
