St Katharine's Dock was a commercial dock, part of the Docklands, serving London from the 12th century onwards. The docks lie on the north side of the Thames, just downriver from Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. During the 18th century the volume of river traffic far exceeded the capacity of the docks, often with over 800 vessels crammed into the Pool of London at any time. The prosperity of St Katherine Docks declined as shipping moved away from London.

The area around the Docklands and St Katherine Dock became highly desirable in the late 20th century, and as property prices rose and riverside views grew in demand, the docks were re-developed with luxury housing, hotels and offices. Today St Katherine Dock is far removed from working shipping, and is mostly occupied by the rich, the docks themselves being converted into a luxury marina.
