With the use of larger ships and containerisation, the importance
of the upstream port declined rapidly from the mid-1960s.
The enclosed docks further up river declined and closed progressively
between long term apartments London the end of the
1960s and the early 1980s. Trade at privately owned wharves
on the open river continued for longer, for example with container
handling at the Victoria Deep Water Terminal on the Greenwich
Peninsula into the 1990s, and bulk paper import at Convoy's
Wharf in Deptford until 2000.
The wider port continued to be a major centre for trade and
industry, with oil refineries and terminals at Coryton, Shell
Haven and Canvey in Essex and the Isle of Grain in Kent. In
1992 Government privatisation policy Flat to Let in London led to Tilbury becoming a freeport. The PLA ceased
to be a port operator, retaining the role of managing the
Thames.

is in the process of being Flat to Let in London developed
