The Greek War of Independence known as the Greek Revolution, was a successful war of independence waged by Greek revolutionaries against the Ottoman Empire between 1821 and 1830. The Greeks were assisted by the Russian Empire, Great Britain, the Kingdom of France, while the Ottomans were aided by their North African vassals, the eyalets of Egypt and Tripolitania, the Beylik of Tunis. Several decades before the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453, most of Greece had come under Ottoman rule. During this time, there were several attempts by the Greeks to gain independence from Ottoman control. In 1814, a secret organization called the Filiki Eteria was founded with the aim of liberating Greece; the Filiki Eteria planned to launch revolts in the Peloponnese, the Danubian Principalities, in Constantinople and its surrounding areas. By late 1821, the insurrection had been planned for 25 March 1821, on the Feast of the Annunciation for the Orthodox Christians. However, as the plans of Filiki Eteria had been discovered by the Ottoman authorities, the revolutionary action started earlier.

The first of these revolts began on 6 March/21 February 1821 in the Danubian Principalities, but it was soon put down by the Ottomans. The events in the north urged the Greeks in the Peloponnese into action and on 17 March 1821, the Maniots declared war on the Ottomans; this declaration was the start of a spring of revolutionary actions from other controlled states against the Ottoman Empire. On 25 March the revolution was declared and by the end of the month, the Peloponnese was in open revolt against the Turks. By October 1821, the Greeks under Theodoros Kolokotronis had captured Tripolitsa; the Peloponnesian revolt was followed by revolts in Crete and Central Greece, which would soon be suppressed. Meanwhile, the makeshift Greek navy was achieving success against the Ottoman navy in the Aegean Sea and prevented Ottoman reinforcements from arriving by sea. Tensions soon developed among different Greek factions. In the meantime, the Ottoman Sultan negotiated with Muhammad Ali of Egypt, who agreed to send his son Ibrahim Pasha to Greece with an army to suppress the revolt in return for territorial gain.

Ibrahim landed in the Peloponnese in February 1825 and had immediate success: by the end of 1825, most of the Peloponnese was under Egyptian control, the city of Missolonghi fell in April 1826 after a year-long siege by the Turks. Although Ibrahim was defeated in Mani, he had succeeded in suppressing most of the revolt in the Peloponnese, Athens had been retaken. Following years of negotiation, three Great Powers—Russia and France—decided to intervene in the conflict and each nation sent a navy to Greece. Following news that combined Ottoman–Egyptian fleets were going to attack the Greek island of Hydra, the allied fleet intercepted the Ottoman–Egyptian fleet at Navarino; the battle began after a tense week-long standoff, ending in the destruction of the Ottoman–Egyptian fleet. By 1828 the Egyptian army withdrew under pressure of a French expeditionary force to which the Ottoman garrisons in the Peloponnese surrendered, while the Greeks proceeded to the Ottoman-controlled part of central Greece.

After eight years of war, Greece was recognized as an independent, sovereign state under the London Protocol of February 1830. In 1832, the London Conference and the Treaty of Constantinople defined the final borders of the new state and established Prince Otto of Bavaria as the first king of Greece; the Greek Revolution is celebrated by the modern Greek state as a national day on 25 March. The Fall of Constantinople on 29 May 1453 and the subsequent fall of the successor states of the Byzantine Empire marked the end of Byzantine sovereignty. After that, the Ottoman Empire ruled the Balkans and Anatolia, with some exceptions. Orthodox Christians were granted some political rights under Ottoman rule, but they were considered inferior subjects; the majority of Greeks were called Rayah by the Turks, a name that referred to the large mass of non-Muslim subjects under the Ottoman ruling class. Meanwhile, Greek intellectuals and humanists, who had migrated west before or during the Ottoman invasions, such as Demetrios Chalkokondyles and Leonardos Philaras, began to call for the liberation of their homeland.

Demetrius Chalcondyles called on Venice and "all of the Latins" to aid the Greeks against "the abominable and impious barbarian Turks". However, Greece was to remain under Ottoman rule for several more centuries; the Greek Revolution was not an isolated event. Throughout the 17th century there was great resistance to the Ottomans in the Morea and elsewhere, as evidenced by revolts led by Dionysius the Philosopher. After the Morean War, the Peloponnese came under Venetian rule for 30 years, remained in turmoil from on and throughout the 17th century, as the bands of klephts multiplied; the first great uprising was the Russian-sponsored Orlov Revolt of the 1770s, crushed by the Ottomans after having limited success. After the crushing of the uprising, Muslim Albanians ravaged many regions in mainland Greece. However, the Maniots continually resisted Ottoman rule, defeated several Ottoman incursions into their region, the most famous of, the invasion of 1770. During the Second Russo-Turkish War, the Greek community of Trieste financed a small fleet under Lambros Katsonis, a nuisance for the Ottoman nav

South Quay Plaza is a residential-led scheme under construction in Millwall on the Isle of Dogs, within the borough of Tower Hamlets developed by Berkeley Group Holdings and designed by architect Foster + Partners. The site of the development lies to the immediate north of Marsh Wall and to the immediate south of the financial district Canary Wharf, it is scheduled for completion in 2022. The development includes three towers, the tallest of which will reach a height of 214.5 m making it the second tallest residential skyscraper proposed for London. There will be new public and retail space, cafés and restaurants as part of the scheme; the new development will replace three office and retail buildings on the site which were built in the 1980s. Foundation works began following the demolition of the previous buildings on the site; the proposed scheme will be located in an area, one of the first to be developed along Marsh Wall of any significance. South Quay 1 was constructed in 1986 and occupied by the Daily Telegraph until the Telegraph's move to Canary Wharf.

The building lay empty for some time. South Quay 1 was followed by South Quay 2 and South Quay 3. For a time in the early nineties, these buildings dominated the area around Marsh Wall as offices until an IRA bomb in late Autumn 1996 which led to the demolition of the original South Quay 1 and 3. South Quay 2 remained. To make way for the new development, three buildings of two and ten storeys used for offices and retail will be demolished. A fifteen storey building on the site is being refurbished. In April 2014, Berkeley obtained the South Quay Plaza buildings and site, they had developed plans in 2013 for two residential buildings of 73 and 36 storeys. However, the taller of the two buildings was considered too tall for the area; as a result, it was reduced in height to 214.5 m. The smaller building remained unchanged at 115.2 m tall. Planning permission was granted for the development by councillors at Tower Hamlets Council in November 2014. In April 2015, the scheme received approval from the London Mayor Boris Johnson meaning the development could go ahead.

In 2015, Berkeley announced they are planning to build a third tower next door to South Quay Plaza but will form part of the same development. The skyscraper, known as South Quay Plaza 4, is planned to be smaller than the largest skyscraper at 192 m with 56 storeys and contain 396 apartments as well as 20,000 sq ft of retail space. Despite being recommended for approval by planning officers, it was rejected by Tower Hamlets council on 12 May 2016, before being granted planning permission on 28 July 2016. In total, the development will provide 1,338 residential apartments, 6,000 sq m of new outdoor public space as well as cafés and restaurants. There will be two phases of development. Phase one is under way and is due to be completed in 2020, it will see the demolition of the current buildings to prepare for the largest and smallest of the three towers. Phase one will include the construction of the largest skyscraper with the construction of the smallest tower to be part of phase two of development.

Construction for phase one is expected to begin in October 2016 with phase two beginning in 2018. Construction of the second tallest tower on the neighbouring site is planned to be part of phase one or an additional phase three. In July 2015, construction company Laing O'Rourke won the contract to build the largest and smallest of the three buildings. 183-189 Marsh Wall, South Quay, within the London borough of Tower Hamlets. The development is to the south of Canary Wharf and will overlook the South Dock which lies to the immediate north; the nearest station is South Quay DLR and the closest London Underground station is Canary Wharf.
