Looking south-southwest. The name "Chrisp Street Clocktopus" is of my own coinage - I couldn't think of a better thing to call it whilst it was decorated with those inflatable tentacles!

Poplar: Chrisp Street Market Clock Tower
After the devastation of many parts of Poplar during the Blitz, it was one of the first areas to be redeveloped after the Second World War. Chrisp Street Market was designed as part of the Festival of Britain in 1951, and the iconic clock tower was completed in 1952 to the designs of the architect Frederick Gibberd. The tower is about 75 feet or about 23 metres high and featured a viewing platform below the clock, accessible by two staircases, one ascending and one descending, that are visible through the open brickwork. The viewing platform was designed to enable views of the surrounding Lansbury Estate.
The market place was the first to be designed specifically as a pedestrianized one in the UK, creating the sort of shopping environment that is taken for granted these days. As ever with public clocks the working and accuracy says a lot about the general level of maintenance of a building and here it is pleasing to report that the clock was telling the right time.
The bus is on service D8 bound for Stratford.

Chrisp Street market, under the canopy
There was a thriving municipal market along Chrisp Street in the Victorian era. In 1951 the area was rebuilt, following wartime damage, as part of the Festival of Britain, and the market relocated in the centre of a new pedestrianized shopping precinct. The canopy was added in the 1980s.
