Welcome to Shadwell

Shadwell is a district located in the East End of London, within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is situated between Whitechapel to the west and Wapping to the east. The area has a rich history, dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Scadflet. Shadwell was once a thriving port, with ships from all over the world docking at its wharves. Today, the area is a diverse and vibrant community, with a mix of residential and commercial properties.

One of the most notable landmarks in Shadwell is the St. George in the East Church. This Grade I listed building was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and completed in 1729. It is considered one of the finest examples of English Baroque architecture and is known for its distinctive tower and spire. The church has a rich history, having survived both World War I and II, and is still an active place of worship today.

Shadwell is also home to the Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre, which offers a range of water-based activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and sailing. The centre was established in 1976 and has since become a popular destination for both locals and tourists. It is situated on the banks of the Thames and offers stunning views of the river and the surrounding area. The centre also provides training and educational programs for schools and community groups.
