London Travel: Shad Thames

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Shad Thames is an area of London just east of Tower Bridge and on the southern bank of the river Thames. The area is filled with warehouses, which have since been converted into expensive housing and restaurants. The buildings retain the warehouse atmosphere on the exterior, with steel footbridges on the upper levels. The warehouses were closed down in the early 1970s, and the buildings started to become regenerated in the 1990s. There's good views of the river and Tower Bridge from the river-facing properties, and it's not far to walk to the City, so each flat costs millions.

This is a nice area to visit and have a meal on the river front as there are a few restaurants in the area here and to get photographs of the warehouses and their steel walkways.
