Area of London on the north bank of the Thames between the City and Docklands. Originally a major warehousing area for the dockyards, Wapping suffered like many other areas when the shipping industry declined. Started to rise once again following Rupert Murdoch moving The Sun's offices to the area in the 80s. Home of Gold Joinee Smith and Joinee Boo, and to The Prospect Of Whitby pub, which is visible to boats on the river.
