Location

Location

Canning Town once had a strong industrial heritage, despite the area being originally marshland. Due to this, for many centuries the only way to access Canning Town was by boat or by paying to use a toll bridge.

Canning Town didn't gain its name until the Victorian period during Queen Victoria's reign and it is thought the town was named after Charles Canning, a relatively famous man at the time due to successfully managing the Indian Mutiny in his role as Viceroy of India.

In 1846, the North London train line brought higher levels of industrialisation to this part of the East End, and the opening of the Barking Road passenger station and an increase in housing construction saw a rise in workers to the area's chemical, shipbuilding and sugar refining factories. A local football team was started in the local ironworks and went onto become the famous West Ham FC. By 1855, the area also had a new dock, the Royal Victoria Dock which is also now very well known among Londoners and local residents.
