    Been here 100+ times
    The origin of the name is not obscure; the Isle of Dogs (from Canaris, meaning "dog" in Latin) is where goods from the Canary Islands (again, dogs, Canaris in Latin) used to enter London.

    This area used to be marshland but in the 19th century developed into bustling docks. The origin of the name is obscure, perhaps from feral dogs, or hunting dogs kennelled here by the king.
