The Isle of Dogs, later briefly known as District One, is a peninsula in the East End of London. It is surrounded on three sides (east, south and west) by one of the largest meanders in the River Thames. To the north, are the West India Docks, and the only road access to the island is across the two bridges that cross the eastern and western entrances to the dock.
It appears in 28 Days Later and is a main setting of 28 Weeks Later.

28 Weeks Later[]
After a US-led NATO force entered London as part of Operation Rising Dawn, the Isle of Dogs was secured and converted into District One, the first secure and quarantined area in Britain suitable for repatriation after the Original Outbreak of Infection. British survivors and refugees then began returning to London from Europe as new civilians in District One, while the US Army continued to decontaminate the rest of London. New arrivals are transported from London City Airport to Canary Wharf Station in District One via the restored Docklands Light Railway.
When a Second Wave of the Rage Virus started in the Green Zone and Code Red was executed, District One was quarantined and eventually firebombed by the Air Cavalry in an (ultimately failed) effort to eradicate all the Infected. Several civilian and military personnel, as well as infected, were able to escape into wider London via the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.
