Summary

[edit]
Description

Tobacco Dock is a Grade I listed warehouse in the Docklands area of the East End of London. It was constructed in approximately 1811 and served primarily as a store for imported tobacco.

It is a brick building with many brick vaults and some fine ironwork. It was adjacent to a particular set of docks named London Docks, which have now mostly been filled in.

The Queen's Tobacco-pipe once was the common name of the furnace in the north-east corner of the tobacco warehouses in the London Docks. It got its name for the burning of all sorts of contraband, especially tobacco and cigars.
