Flying Angel House, Docklands, 2025

A tall red brick building with numerous grid-like windows, white trim, and two projecting white balconies. The sky above is cloudy, and a black railing and small green bushes are visible at ground level in front.

Opened in 1936 as The Missions to Seamen Institute, replacing an older Victorian building on East India Dock Road, as part of an Anglican organisation supporting seafarers. This hostel provided 150 bedrooms and related amenities, now in mixed commercial and residential use. The flying angel motif above the main entrance is of particular interest.
