David Exley started his life in the heart of the London Docks area as “the other one”, the unnamed and unexpected twin to his brother Robert.
From Wapping to Canary Wharf is a frank, poignant yet often hilarious, record of how his life and indeed the London Docks area changed over the first 6 decades of his life. A life that could have ended so tragically after the first 8 years.
This journey of an East London lifetime details the twists, turns, the traumas and the happiness of his life from 1952-2009.
A life, still lived in East London, amongst the shiny new towers of Canary Wharf that must seem a million miles away from it’s humble, anonymous beginning in Docklands Wapping.
