Located on Wolseley Street, this fire station still carries the crest of London County Council and its LCC lettering above the doors. The London County Council came into existence in 1889 and survived until 1965 when it was succeeded by the Greater London Council. The fire station itself was used as the fictional Blackwall fire station in the early series of the TV program London's Burning. It currently houses a single pump-ladder appliance. Built in the 1920's, government permission has been given for its demolition and replacement with a modern station in 2012.
