Wapping Station and the surrounding buildings fit the same foot print
as their predecessors. But, they are no denser or higher. Just two
more floors on each building could have added so much more work or
living space.


Isn't that somewhat due to the nature of the tunnels underneath being of
unprovable strength due to their age and method of construction?
