Shad Thames

Introducing Shad Thames

Running from Tower Bridge to Bermondsey, Shad Thames is one of the most photogenic areas of London. In this dense cluster of warehouses, criss-crossed with foot bridges once used to transport barrels, characterful redbricks were converted into luxury lofts. Excellently place for excursions along the South Bank or into the City of London, there’s also the nearby Design Museum, housed in a former banana warehouse.
