The creation of the Albion Channel in Rotherhithe was part of a broader strategy by the London Docklands Development Corporation aimed at revitalizing the emptied docks, preserving historical maritime routes, and enhancing local environments through waterway access, improving flow and providing a scenic walking experience alongside historical significance.
Despite considering a terminus for the Channel Tunnel, Rotherhithe found new life in the 1980s when the LDDC revitalized former docklands, promoting community developments, shopping, and enhancing public spaces, resulting in a lasting relationship between history and modern urban living.
