The name comes from the fact that it sits next to St. Katharine's Dock, which is a very small remaining part of what was the complex of docks and wharves that ran east from Tower Bridge and west into The Pool of London, where goods from all over the world came into London. When I was a kid you could see the cranes lining the river from five miles away or more. Anyway it now houses my wife's law firm (Reynolds Porter Chamberlain) which is why there.
