Abstract
Reconstruction of the pre-urban situation from historical sources and contour mapping of subsurface information demonstrate the existence of a system of eyots and channels within the flood-plain of the Thames in central London. Their formation is explained by predominantly northward migration of the Thames channel during the Flandrian. Particular attention is paid to the formation of the anomalous Isle of Dogs meander in East London. Dating flood-plain deposits is discussed and a chronology, derived from Flandrian eustatic change in the Thames estuary, is applied to main stream migration in central London. -from Author
