"Regarded as the most expensive takeaway ever was from a restaurant called Ubon in Canary Wharf; it was chauffeur driven to Luton and flown to Baku on a private jet for a bargain cost of £40,000!"
The transformation of London Docklands has been tremendous in the last few decades.

What locals say about Isle Of Dogs
“We're a minute from the river, and love to walk along it. If we walk a little further we can get to Greenwich via one of London's secret gems - the Greenwich got tunnel. Mudchute is great - a little bit of London, a little bit of suburbia.”

Niamh Bury
Niamh Bury is one of the most captivating new voices on the Irish folk scene. Her debut album, Yellow Roses, was released in March 2024 – earning #3 on Mojo's Best Folk Albums of 2024 list. Niamh’s richly-textured folk sound and singular vocals has led her to share the stage with acts Flyte, Maddison Cunningham, Dermot Kennedy and Ye Vagabonds. Niamh is one of the chief organisers of the iconic traditional singing session, The Night Before Larry Got Stretched, which famously takes place in The Cobblestone pub and whose founders included members of Lankum and Landless. Nominated for Best Emerging Artists at the 2025 RTE Folk Awards, she is one of the first new artists in almost two decades to be signed to Ireland's most culturally important record label, Claddagh Records. Praise for Yellow Roses: “Think folky Cat Power or sun-drunk Weyes Blood and prepare to be transported.” (Mojo ★★★★) “‘Yellow Roses’ poses itself as an immaculate debut album from quickly rising folk wonder Niamh Bury.” (Golden Plec ★★★★★) “The effect of immersing yourself in the record is holistic, like gazing up at a sweeping fresco, the detail so magnificent it’s impossible to decide where to lay your eyes first.” (Hot Press 9.5/10) Presented by Broadside Hacks.

About Isle Of Dogs
The Isle of Dogs is a former island in the East End of London that is bounded on three sides (east, south and west) by one of the largest meanders in the River Thames. The urbanisation of the Isle of Dogs took place in the 19th century following the construction of the West India Docks, which opened in 1802. The south of the isle, opposite Greenwich, was once known as North Greenwich, now applied to the area around the Millennium Dome on the Greenwich Peninsula. The Isle of Dogs is now best known as the location of the prestigious Canary Wharf office complex.
