The reversed-L plan of the Millwall Docks is a truncated version of the inverted-T plan projected in 1863 as a 350ft-wide 'canal'. The dimensions and particulars of the built section of docks had been settled by (Sir) John Fowler and William Wilson by July 1865 when (Sir) John Kelk and John Aird & Son began the excavation work.

Originally named the East Country Dock, it was renamed in 1850 when the Surrey Commercial Dock Company purchased and enlarged it.

Greenland Dock is the oldest of London's riverside docks, located in Rotherhithe in the area of the city now known as Docklands. It used to be part of the Surrey Commercial Docks, most of which have by now been filled in. Greenland Dock is now used purely for recreational purposes, it is one of only two working enclosed docks on the south bank of the River Thames. The dock is also a stop on the Thames Clipper commuter service. The actual pier for the river boat service is located at the eastern end of Greenland Dock.
