Butler’s Wharf was built 1871-73 as a shipping wharf and warehouse complex, accommodating goods unloaded from ships using the port of London. It contained what was reputedly the largest tea warehouse in the world. In 1972, along with the rest of the docks, the area fell into decline.
In Partnership with Galliard Homes, Frogmore created a new masterplan for the 11 acre estate which included 800 new high class residential units, 50,000 sq ft of commercial space and 1,200 car parking spaces.
A central piazza is the main focal point of the complex. The main road though the wharf, the strangely-named Shad Thames, still features the overhead goods gantries that once linked the warehouses together.
