Tobacco Dock is a grade I listed warehouse in Wapping in London's Docklands. It was constructed in approximately 1812 and served as a store for imported tobacco. It is a brick building with many brick vaults and some fine ironwork. It was adjacent to the particular set of docks named London Docks, which have largely been filled in.
In the late 1980s or the 1990s the building was converted into a shopping centre but the scheme was unsuccessful and it went into administration. The property is not in a major retail area and has only moderately good public transport access.
Since the late 1990s the building has been almost entirely unoccupied, and a plan to convert it into a factory outlet did not come to fruition. The whole building is occasionally used for large scale corporate events such as the Vodafone and ABN AMRO 2005 annual staff 'party'. In early 2004, part of the building was used as the studios of the Channel 4 reality television show Shattered.
