Butlers Wharf Shad Thames SE1
Butlers Wharf Shad Thames SE1
Built in 1871 – originally as a shipping wharf and warehouse – Butler’s Wharf has been transformed into a complex of luxury flats with restaurants and shops located below.
Conran & Partners purchased the historic site in 1983 and set out a £40 million vision to transform Butler’s Wharf estate into more than one million square feet of retail, cultural, work and living space. Today, the landmark warehouse conversion and site development is one of the most popular in London.
The apartment blocks located in the original warehouse conversion offer open-plan living with high ceilings, generous windows and original brickwork features. The original 19th century architecture blends seamlessly with other modern aspects of the development, creating a stunning place in which to live. Residents enjoy secure parking and direct access to the high-quality restaurants and bars underneath the apartment blocks.
“Built in 1871 Butlers Wharf was originally conceived as a shipping wharf and warehouse…”
