London City Airport (LCY) is located within the Royal Docks, London Borough of Newham.

London City Airport is situated 9.7 km east of the City of London and was built by the Mowlem engineering company in 1987.

The first proposal for such an airport was in 1981 - made by the London Docklands Development Corporation, the organisation then responsible for the regeneration of the area.

The airport has a single 1508 metre runway, and because of its situation, multi-engine, fixed-wing aircraft only up to Airbus A318 size are allowed to conduct operations.

The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) opened its London City Airport station on its Woolwich branch (originally the King George V branch), opening on 2 December 2005.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
